Add $800 for paint, floor covering and essentials plus my laborer for 2 days and my total cost was about $1400.I painted the 30 1200 to 2700 sq ft homes in Las Vegas with two helpers including ceilings and it never took more than two days to paint a house and that included removing all the electric wall plates, dropping ceiling light fixtures, removing smoke detectors, cleaning windows, installing new blinds, cleaning bathroom fixtures and it never took the 3 of us more than 2 days because I am good at knowing how to get the most from my workers like a Lakers coach knows which players to put on the court because the cost to do a paint job is not as critical as the time it takes because when I go to Las Vegas to manage a job I have to leave Los Angeles and my 20+ employees without my micro-management and "When The Cat Is Away The Mouse Will Play" if you know what I mean.I am a very difficult person to work for because I am 71-years old, a workaholic, a fast worker and when young workers are slow I fire them within minutes when they are working because I don't like to have to waste my time and stop the work I am doing to constantly check on my workers and I don't like to get emotional and have to keep correcting workers when they work sloppy and slow.
