Here you can view what others have said about ... uhhhh ... Watching Paint Dry and toss in your two cents for everyone to see. You are limited to 1000 characters (no HTML) and pls keep it relevant and family friendly. Bonus points if you notice a spot the painters missed! Thank you in advance for your painty comments.

The inside of my house was painted in May/2007 and the outside two months later ... with live coverage on the Internet via a webcam. So Internet surfers could chime in on the Paint Blog below along with commentary from Mr. Paint.

Painters are done for the day with excellent progress made as the ceilings are done. Spraying 'em took less than an hour, but there is quite a bit of prep work required beforehand and then take-down afterwards as can be seen in the pictures/videos below. They'll be back tomorrow around 8'ish to start work on the walls ... with live coverage via the watching paint dry webcam! ;-)

Research has long confirmed that different colors stimulate emotional and physical reactions in people. Color can impact our mood, our appetite, and our energy level. Color can sway thinking, change actions and cause reactions. It can irritate your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. So, there is NO doubt that color has a significant effect on us. But did you know that the color red can keep you from achieving? Though red can be a vibrant, sizzling and eye-catching color, it appears that it can throw you off as you take a test or perform a task. Red usually implies danger, commands us to stop, and is associated with imperfection and failing. Remember those red pencil marks on your assignments and test? Well, researchers at the University of Rochester found if test takers were shown red or even a hint of the color, their performances plummeted. So, pass along this advice to others: WEAR GREEN! Like The Hulk

BTW, the base is #200 Westminster Gold and the Fiery Opal is #77. Be sure to tune in for tomorrow for the final day of live webcam coverage! ;-)

Mr. Paint replies at 15:15 - 33°C is over 90°F ... so yea, it's baking, especially in the sun. Nick is the only one working today and he's been doing prep work mostly off-camera. Should be three painters here tomorrow for more action. BTW, the guy under the chimney was actually me - the GFCI for the deck lights keep popping, so I'm trying to figure out where the problem is.

Third painter just showed up, but another dude. We want to see Hot Grandma - where is she?
Mr. Paint replies at 09:20 - Steve just showed up to join Keith and Jeff. Lynnee (the "Hot Grandma" - see earlier blog pictures) mostly does interiors ... but Keith (her (cute!) husband pictured below) says she'll come out for the webcam if enough interest from Internet surfers..

Why painters taking the windows off?

Rolf: it is essential to paint the entire outer surface/sides of the window for a smooth look, so that's why they take them off.

Are painters out to lunch - haven't seen them in a while?
Mr. Paint replies at 11:53 - It's hot & sunny today - over 90°F ... so when I offered up some Coors Lights, they took a break in the shade. They promised me their paint lines will be super straight after they quaffed down the beers! ;-)

Today should be the last day of painting ... at least on the webcam. While there will probably be some misc. finishing work, that's not as exciting to watch, so I'm going to turn the webcam off this afternoon. So if you feel the need to Watch Paint Dry, tune in today!

I see a second painter, but looks like a dude, not Hot Painter Chick.

Noooooooooo!! This CAN'T be the last day. I'm thinking you could use a coat of paint in the basement, or even better, have them paint the Delta 88. That would be fun to watch!!

The Paint Crew did a fine job. The house looks great Mr Paint, although, in my opinion, orange and black would have made the house much more Halloweeny. Anyway, thanks for letting us watch.

Thanks for the compliment H2000, the whole crew has had a blast working on Mr./Mrs. Paints' house, couldn't ask for a nicer family. In fact, I was thinking if the paint community could pool enough money, we could hire Mr.P to follow the crews around and film so you can watch other peoples paint dry.

I've turned the webcam off as the painters are mostly done and there won't be that much more live action. I'll allow blog commenting for a few days - any last comments/questions from Paint Fans?

Brian and his crew did a fine paint job - glad everyone enjoyed watching it on the webcam. If you live in/around the Republic of Boulder, give him a call at 303-249-1080 and ask for the Watching Paint Dry discount! Unfortunately, I (hopefully) won't be painting my house again for at least another 10 years ... but something else zany may come along that is paint related so circle back periodically. And yes, the holidays are approaching, so be sure to tune in for live webcam coverage of the halloween decorations and christmas lights. In the meantime, I can recommend watching grass grow! ;-)
