We cheated somewhat and painted the skirting boards with the emulsion. It saves a ton of time.Amber T.

MAN... that's true, eh?<br /><br />Great analogy, too! and I have this to offer to take it a step further... once you call it DONE, it is pretty humiliating to see a patch that you missed or an unsightly place where your wall color or trim color are in the wrong spot...Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-66688422346441531582011-02-02T19:07:10.919+00:002011-02-02T19:07:10.919+00:00Jan - Yeah, I need to gloss my chick-lit from NaNo...Jan - Yeah, I need to gloss my chick-lit from NaNo 2009.The longer I leave it, the less enthusiasm I have to do it.
