Memorial Day Weekend... Let the painting begin

So, I stumbled on this cool product and it got me thinking about Home Improvement chores. Sure, Memorial Day Weekend is about barbecues and seeing friends, but it's also that time when we get stuff done around the house. This Paint 'N Pour lid by Homax looks like a great way to make painting chores just a little easier. I don't know about you, but I hate dealing with paint can lids, and always fear I'm not getting them back on correctly (and worry that my paint will dry up in the process).
If you are planning on painting this weekend. Make sure you have all you need on hand. There's nothing more frustrating than having to run out for supplies mid-project.
I found a good list at doityourself.com if you're painting:


-screwdrivers (for removing hardware)

-sandpaper

-patching compound

-putty knife/scraper

-painting or masking tape

-drop cloths (we use old shower curtains)

-caulk

-paint tray/brushes/rollers

-mixing bucket

-clean rags

-wall cleaner and sponge/sponge mop
On your mark, get set, PAINT!
Happy Memorial Day weekend! Be sure to make some time for friends and family!
