certified room painters

BFF's house is almost ready for occupation. Well, except that even after two changes, she decided that she no longer wants the blue paint in her room. I don't know where her inspiration sprung from but she decided that we'll paint her room together during the weekend. She mentioned that the painter charges at Php 250 per day and didn't give an estimated number of days to get the job completed.
On Saturday, after an hour of discussion ( that meant I have already picked seeds for my vegetable patch and some soil-less media in which to grow them), we bought 2 4-li cans of apricot white latex paint, 2 rollers and a pan.
We both woke up late the following day. My excuse? Well, sis and myself spent most of the night watching Star Trek and A Boyfriend for Christmas finishing off two bags of cheesy popcorn:)
Heights don't bother me provided I'm securely fastened on to something. Now we know where the P250 per day figure...reaching out for the ceiling cornice. The exercise looked easy but try getting on the scaffold and look down at the hard surface that awaits belw. Even with 'Ta Poy and BFF holding the scaffold, still beads of perspiration still raced on my face just thinking about what can happen if I lose my footing.
It took us two half days to finish the room to our satisfaction. How it looks now was a far cry from the sad blue hue that it donned for a month. Job well done!
