If it's not raining open all the windows - even if you have to wear your outdoor togs.

[Time_2_drink in reply to O2Trees]

It's been hailing can you believe

[O2Trees in reply to Time_2_drink]

Yuk

Choose a paint which has absolutely no fumes. They are available. I now can do my own decorating for hours on end.

We have a painter in I asked him to get a paint which had low omissions he brought Dulux trade I had no problem with emulsion but he still has undercoat and glossing to do so fingers crossed

[kernowdame in reply to Time_2_drink]

I am using Lakeland paints. They do all sorts and big choice of colours Arrives well packed. And no, I don't work for them!

Don't use oil based paint, even if you can breathe it stinks the place out. Water based paint for woodwork is fine, easier to use and easier to clean up. Some painters are a little old fashioned, I'd insist no oil gloss.

[Time_2_drink in reply to Inamoment]

I hope it is water based he we did tell him

[Inamoment in reply to Time_2_drink]

Don't hope, insist. It's your house not his.

[Time_2_drink in reply to Inamoment]

You are right
