Over the old colors on a in shape cabinet ? Following the design . Especially on the very simple ones . Even someone with my next to nothing skill set could do it .

Thanks. I thought about the sanding prior to painting . Also matching the colors first .

I don`t have the skill set to make a stencil. It is a bummer that so many people have decent skills but will refuse to accept reasonable wages to do something . That is the nature of handy man work. I use to own a lot of rental property and get ridiculus quotes all the time.

My thing is I make 47 .00 and hour and pay tax on that , so I will pay someone 43 .00 cash and hour which is a lot when you do not pay State, FICA, Social Security .

I do not have a problem with the time frame at all. I have been paying an hourly rate for work on rental properties since 1979 . Sometimes I pay a stated rate for someone who has done a lot of work for me. It is the nature of labor. One time a guy came out to replace an inside door. He quoted 450 .00 . I said how long will the door take 1 hour max he said. He saw the ridiculous price he had quoted. I have yet to look for a painter.

As for artists yes I agree with you , they value their time way too much lol. That is why so many are unemployed . Or living in their car. THEY turn their nose up at 5 hours work and sit at home. Many a time I took 1 hour of work , 2 hours of work gladly . Instead of earning NOTHING. Especially when it is cash .
