gothique 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 Hi people!I've noticed that some people prefer to DIY the painting, but others feel that it was terrible.Let's have a poll to vote.If DIY, we can save a few hundred bucks. But hwe ave to take leave, and some find that the work is too much!If we pay the contractor, he has professional workers who can paint in 3-4 days time and do a good job (hopefully).Which will you choose?

Mousehunt 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 For me, if it is an empty house, painting is fun. When you see the colours forming up one room by a room, the sense of satisfaction is great. But it is a house filled with stuff, then I sure outsource liao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gendon 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2007 In the end, managed to get hubby to be convinced by his old friend: that just to save $1300 for painting and invest personal labour & time to take at least 1 week leave, especially for new flat, is better to leave to the pros. The surface preps, the primers, the tools required, the swee swee no botch ups on edges, the timing before and after carpentry, the touch ups here and there......headache lah.
