Ever have a great idea only to find yourself halfway into the project and realize that it was the dumbest idea ever imagined. Well, for the past week I have been in that prices situation. I am moving into a new apartment this week and decided that it would be a great idea to paint the entire apartment. At first glance, it seamed like it would be a piece of cake; I was wrong.
When I started the project last weekend, I had this grand flawless plan that would have me moved into a newly painted trendy, six room, rehabbed Chicago apartment in less than one week.
As reality strikes in the middle of painting- it was about 10:30 pm- I start cursing the person that imagined this GREAT idea. Unfortunately, the person that dreamed up
this idea, and created this mess, was the intelligent, imaginative and insightful I. Bummer. Well not every idea can be a winner.
The good news is that I came up with a great Master Card ad:
7 cans of paint: $149.83
15 rolls of tape, paintbrushes, 1 tarp, paint trays and rollers: $52.47
1 can of Goof Off: $7.00
Realizing why normal people hire professionals: Priceless
As soon as I manger to work my way out of this fantastic idea I will start posting some real articles. Check back sometime next week.
