Painting the House

So I decided to have the house painted. It is not really something that we should technically do during the quarantine, but I really wanted to get it done, and I have Tanner home to help so I decided to do it anyway.  We started on Thursday April 16th and it was supposed to take 4 or 5 days.  It is not going well.  It is not April 26th and it is still not done.  They painted the very downstairs the first day and it looked ok.  Then they painted the family room and it looked terrible.  I made the repaint it the Monday (after putting all the furniture away Friday night after they finished). It looked better the with the 2nd coat, but not wonderful.  Then Wednesday they painted the kitchen and living room.  When they were done, it looked like a 7 year old had painted it.  I was so frustrated.  My dad came and looked at it and agreed that it looked terrible.  He said he thought that something was wrong with the paint.  So on Thursday April 23rd, the owner of the company, Gary, came out and looked.  He said he thought that the paint wasn't being put on thick enough and got into a screaming and swearing fight with one of his workers, Bob.  Bob got mad and quit and left.  Then Gary started painting himself and decided that maybe it was the paint that was bad.  He said he was going to see if the paint rep from Sherman Williams would come out and look at the paint.  The paint rep said he can't come into peoples homes because of the coronavirus so we are now at a stand still until he can come out.  What a mess.
