to of started painting the downstairs bathroom

[zobey]

With a brush. Dh wanted to do it with a roller. I've done 3 walls out of 5.. He is now kicking off with me. Who is bu here?

My teeth are itching!

I used to use a roller, then tried paint pads but now use a brush.

I find I need to do less coats and it makes less mess.

I do all the decorating therefore it is my decision.

I don't think that knowing it's 'have' instead of 'of' is that clever if I'm being honest. I never fail to raise an eyebrow when I see it.

But if grammar pedants don't correct people, then how will they or anyone learn?

Anyway, OP you need both.
Paintbrush for close-ups and corners (cutting-in) and roller for the rest.

The person painting gets to decide, yanbu

Prefer rollers though myself

I prefer a brush personally - but my walls are atrocious and rollers don't cope well with the bumps and grooves.

Paint pads don't use more paint than any other method..... People just overload them that's all

Use a brush for cutting in.

Poor OP. Starts a thread about paint. Never to return....

Correcting someone's grammar without invitation is a bit like wiping your finger over their skirting boards and sneering that your home is cleaner. I taught English for 15 years but still manage not to correct other adults because it is RUDE.

And no, YANBU to paint your toilet with a roller (unless it looks crap).

People only tend to overload them because you have to dip them back in the paint so often and you still have to do more coats than you would with a brush AND they're a pig to clean properly

In other news..I really don't care what people use but I agree with the painter chooses the tool, so it's a go swivel moment if somebody complains about it.

"Grammer Police, your surrounded"!

How do you rationalise that approach as a teacher redroom?

And the comparison with skirting board cleanliness is just silly.

An incorrect scientific pronuncation of mine was once corrected, uninvited I might add, I was quite gratful for it...

I prefer a brush but in our house the person doing the job chooses the implements and my husband would have been delighted that I'd decided to do the job rather than him so would have just left me to it. If you expected him to help then you should have discussed implements before starting.

Indeed usual and they'd probably thank you for it (inwardly at least)

A roller covers in fewer coats. If you use half decent paint and don't go too fast, there is no spatter. You still need a fine brush for cutting in, though.

And bumpy walls need a hairy roller.

It is a reference to an incident some time ago on Mumsnet - hence the . I couldn't resist the 'your'. Are you new Usual? I presume you are not the usual Usual.

I want to know what colour you're using.
