It has been a while since my last post, but here is a quick tip for all those new to home improvement. Keep a record of all the paint you purchase. Take the two seconds to do it now, put it in a spreadsheet keep track of date of purchase, color, and most importantly finish! It will pay off in spades later, when you will inevitably need to touch up a spot, or something.
I learned the hard way. We recently had an electrician come in and do some work that required him cutting a few large holes into the freshly painted ceiling. Long story short we had used up all our ceiling paint, so to Home Depot I went to buy another gallon to cover the new drywall.
Of course I bought the wrong finish, and now must make a second trip to the store, and a spend a second evening of painting.
Do it right the first time. You’ll thank yourself later.
