To think that an infinite number of monkeys, With an infinite number of paintbrushes, could have done a better job of painting the bedroom than ds!

Its 7'x7'. Its taken five days, SEVEN litres of paint, four rollers and two paintbrushes, and I can still see the original colour shining through, there is paint in the carpet,paint on the sofa and paint on the dog!
The plan was, that DS16, dedicated sofa surfer could redecorate his room himself, keep busy, gain a sense of achievement and save me the job for a change!
FAIL! Sad

I have asked my 17 year old to paint the kitchen ceiling before the units go in. He started on Saturday. He hasn't finished. It's like trying to organise Bungle!

But it's his room, perhaps you can close the door and mentally plan for a repaint when he moves out?

Strictly speaking, I think that with an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of paint brushes you should at least expect a Picasso on one wall, maybe a Monet on another and a Banksy on a third wall.

Ha! Confused
What I actually have is one of those bits of artwork made by an elephant, with a large paint brush and a tin of emulsion!
