Painting is 90% preparation 10% application and 100% tedium with only a little satisfaction thrown in when its done. If I never have to paint another building again it will be too soon. All I can say is thank God for vinyl siding. I even vinyl sided my kids tree fort. It took half the time and will last as long as the tree fort and really not as expensive as it seems when you add in the frustration of constantly having to repaint.
