U...Ditto to Kelli's comment about paint/primer. Unless you're going for the distressed look, always prime new wood and sand and prime extisting finished on furniture. If you're painting walls a non dramatic color and you're not covering up a dramatic color, you don't need to prime but you do need to WASH the walls with a degreaser (TSP works well- just wear gloves). It will probably be cheaper than you think to cover your soffits with vinyl and you can get free quotes...always get three quotes. Seal your cement if you're going to leave it that color. You can always tile with pavers on top of the cement too:0)<br />Every vote counts. <br />It's getting through the crazy talk that's hard for me.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135556255764942921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-20750719734900804512010-11-02T08:21:54.773-06:002010-11-02T08:21:54.773-06:00These days you can buy paint with primer in them s...These days you can buy paint with primer in them so go that route and then you don't have to worry about it. <br /><br />I know nothing about siding.<br /><br />I'd leave in cement colored but my husband would want to paint it.<br /><br />It seems like my kids have been sick for awhile, so I haven't had any plans destroyed. *knock on wood*<br /><br />Corron or Herbert? Huh?<br /><br />I'm tired of the election. I did more research this time, but I'm sick of getting stuff in the mail, sick of seeing the ads on tv and sick of hearing about it. I just want the results (which will be disappointing because the people I vote for here never win.)Amanda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662814069840360787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-86140471752843189542010-11-01T18:26:49.385-06:002010-11-01T18:26:49.385-06:00Having just painted some of my mom's house for...Having just painted some of my mom's house for sale...Primer, YES!! Even better, pay the few extra dollars more and get the paint with primer included. Saves a step, but still gets the primer, which gets the wall prepared for the paint.<br />I have three childre, 6 and under, in the home we painted...no problems and we have asthma problems.Kellie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524907872683583828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-50387451723506350622010-11-01T14:56:12.102-06:002010-11-01T14:56:12.102-06:00Depends what you're painting, what the current...Depends what you're painting, what the current color is, and what the new color is. Ex: if you're painting something red, you want a good primer under it for red paint. My kitchen is currently orange, I'm changing it to blue. It's going to take good primer to color the orange before I can put the blue on top.<br /><br />3, I'd leave it cement colored<br /><br />5. Herbert. But don't get me started on US Senate. I'm refusing to vote for anyone at all. We all know who's going to win, anyway, so I don't feel irresponsible for not voting for that office. I just won't give either guy my vote.<br /><br />6.

And mats. Even ones with "Welcome" on them.<br /><br />I was really excited about Corroon and now I'm not. At all. I'm voting for Herbert. Blah.<br /><br />Oh, and yes, sick children ruin my life regularly (joking). But they do impede my best laid plans.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914081924660422629noreply@blogger.com
