I'd be careful about the painting part. You don't want to end up with a crappy paint job. But then again, you get what you pay for.

a skilled painter will charge lot, an unskilled laborer waiting in front of HD will not.

Exactly , that's why I wouldn't have someone hanging out in front of HD paint for me. I've had 3 rooms painted by a skilled painter. He charged us around $1000 but I tell you, he was flawless and not a drop of paint anywhere.

Try Bedford avenue in Williamsburg.



There are plenty of hardworking, unemployed, down to earth, laborious young people ready to exert as much energy as possible for capital.

I'll never get how people do it.

Me too.
I would never hire off the street.
I painted my place completely ONCE. It really was a labor of Hercules but the results were A-1. What I lacked in skill I made up for in CARE.

I have ONE recommendation. Buy the very best paint you can becasue if good paint allows you to skip just ONE repainting you are WAY ahead of the game.
