Thoughts about painting

So the new place (1500 sq ft) needs to be painted.

I do not want to paint it. I only want a couple coats of white paint, applied by an expert.

My father is telling me he will teach me how to paint, and I can do it myself rather cheaply, or pay $$$ and have it done by an expert.

However, I'm worried about the timetable, and I am also concerned about how little time I have available for the next two months and how I have to clean out the new place and somehow get rid of all of the stuff there that we don't want to keep, clean out the apartment and transfer everything to the new place, and also pick out flooring and have it installed at the new place, and sign paperwork and get a mortgage, and do my usual eBay/shows/trips/pull out hair all the while. Also, I know how I operate, and if I am the one doing the painting, it will all end in tears.

Anyone have suggestions for getting a house painted in the metro Detroit area, without leaning on friends? I just need a nice, neat two-coat white paint job on 1500 sq ft. Well, less, actually, because one bedroom doesn't need it.


In other news, I've started posting the Riptide fic at the comm. It ended up at 26K. I might still revise the last chapter a teensy bit, but wow. I did not expect this--I thought 5K, max. *blinks* Anyway, I'm so happy to have it (pretty much) finished so that it will STOP EATING MY BRAIN.

I refuse to make more puns with Knight and Rider.

• [From a fanpage:] Latest News on the Knight Rider movie is that filming will begin the summer of 2006 and will be released in December 2006. Hey, David, if you need a writer to help with the movie script I'm available! Who better to help with the script then someone who's building their very own KITT!


• " She lives ," the dark, mephistophelian voice of KARR informed him. Oooh! That naughty KARR!


• [Author's note: Just a brief fanfic I made on my own... Enjoy! So no other fanfic authors were harmed in the making of this story?
