Agreed - I don't mind the painting. What I hate is the prep! and these walls need prep. The skim coat of plaster was gouged by the previous owner taking down wallpaper. They put up a vinyl paper that - when it came down - took lots of the paint off the plaster. It was so bad that I had to use paint remover to get it to the bare plaster. For the last year, I've been repairing the gouges (on and off - more off than on). It's just a job that goes on and on...
