I’ve been determined to paint my room (and other parts of the house) for months now. I’m finally getting things in motion, but 5 hours in, I am now remembering what a stupendous amount of work preparing to paint is:
- agonise over colour and paint choices (I’ve done this for months)
- buy paint and supplies
- move the furniture
- patch cracks and holes
- scrape trim
- smooth patches
- wash walls and trim
- rinse walls and trim (I’m being a bad boy and collapsing these two into one by not using TSP in the wash step)
- mask/tarp everything
- coat 1
- trim coat 1
- coat 2
- trim coat 2
- move everything back
- repeat as needed for other spaces
Done.
Simple. 
Having seen the “after” I can see that it was worth all the effort.
