Painting Wisdom

[Peter Pumpkin]

I live in a 112 year old house. Decided to fix a room that had some water damage. It took me a long time to repair the crumbled horsehair lathe board plaster. Now I happen to be a cheap Dutchman (not by choice), so last year I bought two gallons of no name paint from Menards for $11.00. I used a very good primer and now I just finished the third coat of paint and I think it will need two more to cover. Word to the wise. Don't buy cheap paint! The ironic thing is that when I was much younger, I used to paint interiors professionally. I should have known better.

I'm sorry--that really sucks!
