Especially in an older, lived in home. But I guess I'm out of touch. Glad to see lower prices now.
I think a new build is a different ball game, no?

Is this including caulk/putty for all the millwork?

Priming adds a bunch of time and cost.

After painting our whole place after a reno, anything brand new took me significantly longer because of these factors.
