Too bright?

I've been a painting contractor since 1979, with forays into other ventures along the way. I have painted shopping malls, Victorian mansions, new builds, striped parking lots, thousands of homes and businesses, freeway retaining walls and underpasses...pretty much anything that stands still long enough to be painted. I've run crews and been a foreman (forewoman, I guess) and taught many people the craft.
About Me

Dogmuse is recently reincarnated. In my 16 month absence, it continued to get a fair bit of traffic, according to sitemeter. Oh dear, another abandoned blog? Nope. I am 50 and live in Michigan with two Rottweilers, a Nottweiler and three accidental cats. I do agility and paint houses and write sometimes. My favourite icecream flavor is peanut butter. I can probably beat your ass at Scrabble. How's that for succinct?

I've been called to repaint rooms that the owners have painted.
At first look you wonder, "What in the hell were they thinking?"
Usually takes two coats to fix a mess like that.
tee, hee!
My sister and hubby had their home built in Florida six years ago while they were still living in Kentucky. The builder had every room painted a stark white. They hated it.
It took them five years, but they've since repainted the entire house.
When I bought this place 3 years ago, it was "contractor new construction white." It's now pretty close to what I hoped for. . . Except that ugly blue I used in the bathrooms. . . DOH!!!
