Up until Scott age 35 or 40 I did my own inside house painting After that my then-husband did it My now-husband isn’t handy like that and I’m no longer any good at painting, so when it’s time to freshen up the paint inside or house we will hire someone Are you a good painter?

I think so. I helped paint the inside of our house as a teen. Although, to be fair, someone else taped off the corners. That way I knew nothing would bleed over.

@LooeyVille It was so fun! I painted two walls pink and two walls purple in my room. My sister painted her room a Hunter green.

I'm not a good painter but I could paint well. I paint our house wall once in a blue moon. But when I was class room in elementary school, I painted my classroom a month before the opening of a school year.

I do not know if I am good, but I am the best I have. Have not painted in a long while. We need some paneling.

I used to some painting outside of my former home in Metairie a long time ago.

I learned to paint walls, etc. at a young age. I've always painted. However, I no longer have any desire to be on a ladder due to my leg. That means I could paint the parts I could reach, but not all of the wall. The last time I needed some walls painted, my oldest son came and did it for me. He is an expert painter, never leaves a mess, and there isn't a bill involved! It does require cookies, and a pie or two to take home. I can manage that.

@looeyville I do my own painting and it turns out fine so long as you don’t look too closely.

I thought you meant painting as in painting as an artist. My husband is an artist. The last time I have paint our walls in the house was a few years ago. I did it with my hubby.

I abhor painting. That's not to say I never did my fair share of it. We were landlords in a former life. It came with the territory. And wifey liked "change." Nowadays I say, "the color is the color. If you want something different, it's up to you." lol
