I recommend just doing it yourself or, if you can, with your spouse. No better bonding time than painting your home together unless you have some flat-packed Ikea furniture to try to assemble.
The wife and I just painted our new basement development and now we're starting on the main floor. The constant critiques of my painting abilities and consequent challenges to my manhood helped keep our relationship interesting. And staying up until 2:00 am to fix my ######ups after a long day at the office had me sleeping like a baby (could have been the paint fumes too, not sure). FYI: the only way to really fix those spots where the wall paint got on your knockdown ceiling is to repaint the entire ceiling. FUN TIMES!
I can't wait to try painting the walls leading from the mainfloor to the upstairs. The walls must be 20 feet high. I'm looking forward to finding new and innovative ways to mess that up or fall off the ladder trying.
