20 Jan 2008 Lessons on room decorating
![[Misc]](http://www.graxdomain.co.uk/images/site/Misc01.jpg)
I've just come back from my weekend of helping my friend decorate her living room. From this I have learnt the following:
- Painting a room does not take a couple of hours, but rather many, many hours. No matter how small the room looks.
- It's always handy to have the right tools for the job.
- The size of your tool does bloody matter.
- Attaching a Philips screwdriver head to a long flat-head screwdriver with lots of sticky tape does not turn it into a useable long Philips screwdriver.
- Screws in walls are a good way of release manly grunts and growls.
- Asking for help unscrewing a tight screw in the wall does not undermine ones manliness.
- Painting a room at 2:00am is not for everybody.
- It's lots of fun to completely cover your hands in gloss paint, but it's a bit of a pain to get off your hands. And it makes your hands sticky and tingly.
- Not everyone will appreciate you getting your hands completely covered in gloss paint, not matter how much fun it is.
- Painting a room is bloody boring, no matter how much cheesy disco pop you play in the background.
I'm sure these life lessons will serve me well in the future.

Maybe you could've done with white spirit. Unless you did use that, then just ignore what I said.
I'll have to agree with you there. Painting is boring.
