Tasks we DON'T like!

I hate painting too. Probably because it's a very finicky job, and I just don't have the patience you need to do a really nice job. I admire people like you who can take on these projects yourself. I put them off so long till something absolutely has to be done. I'll look forward to seeing the finished project, although, I'm a little concerned about the lavender.....

I guess painting fits for a man's job, as I do like it in my case. What I don't like was the cleaning of dishes, sweeping or vacuuming the floors. As much as I'd hate to do the laundry, I decided to learn the chore since it's also a PLUS for a guy like me!;)

Sounds like you have the project all under control and sounds very pretty. Please post a picture when your project is completed. I don't like cleaning toilets at home. It's a waste of time since it's a room that is used over and over again..lol Otherwise I'm content at home with almost anything I am doing.

Oh I also don't like painting walls and ceilings. That task I can delegate to some persons and then pay for their work. Well, at home I can do washing dishes and washing of clothes, the washing machine is a great help. What I dislike most is the ironing of clothes and folding the clothes. Its good that now,we have a laundry woman and she does the ironing of clothes too, but I have to pay for her services.

I'm with you, I don't like painting either. I was going to paint my bedroom months ago, but never did. I really want it painted, but I don't want to do it. When I get started, I'm sure I'll be happy. I'm going to paint it a color called Purple Dragon. (someday) hehe The waterfall scene must of been beautiful. I like waterfalls too. I also like the lavendar color, I bet it's going to look great! Happy painting.lol

I have to agree with you that painting would be one of my least favorite task. That is probably be the reason I have lived in my home almost 12 years and still have rooms that need painting.

Good luck to you, because outgrew my enjoyment of painting a long time ago. The last room I painted was my daughters bedroom five years ago. It was small room. Three years later my hubby repainted it. Obviously he wasn't impressed with my slap dash method of paining. Another task I hate is dusting. I hardly ever do it but I know I should.

I loved to paint when younger but I have found that I don't have a lot of patience for it any more. I painted the living room and CJ's room last summer. It wasn't too bad but it seemed like it took forever. I have to admit that I'm alot better painter than my husband; he gets paint on things that shouldn't be painted and gets it all over himself. I can usually paint without getting a drop on my body.

I STILL have not completed our little bathroom, so I guess I dislike painting too, but more than that I really do not like picking up after people who are bIG enough to pick up after themselves.

Hey, you want me to come over and paint? I don't mind it too much..in fact I wish I had some money to do a bit of sprucing up in my apartment...actually more than just a bit. When the electricians had to rewire all the apartments they left big gaping holes when they were rewiring, eventually the plasterer came in and plastered up all the holes...but now my apartment looks strange as say the one wall of my living room is a nice aqua color but has the stark white plaster where they filled in the holes...would also have to paint other areas as well...those walls are white but not the same color white as the plaster...so like I said my apartment looks a tad strange..LOL Mmm....tasks I hate to do...going through piles of old papers to see what I can throw out and dusting are two tasks I can't stand

i really really dislike cleaning the bathroom. all that muck that accumulates is just GROSS. but i have no choice. we alternate on bathroom duties and guess whose turn it is coming up next. mine, moi, me. yuck but i guess i really appreciate the feeling of a clean bathroom. perhaps i could clean it everyday like in hotels which would make the task easier each time. but i think if i had to clean everyday i'd go mad too. besides since i work i don't think i'd have the energy to do it everyday. cleaning the bathroom includes wiping down the shower screen, scrubbing the sink and floors, cleaning the drain hole, disinfecting the toilet bowl and clearing out the dustbin there. what a chore!

i don't like to wash dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, wiping off the dusts, and every house chores... but i actually doing it... because i'm the eldest and i must do it... my mom will get angry at me if i refuse to do it...

I loathe washing large cooking pots/trays. I dislike shoveling snow and ice. Stripping a bed and putting new sheets and quilts on it also irritates me. I also dislike breaking down boxes for recycling. (prefer to use the boxes as containers for other papers)

The task I dislike the most is doing the dishes. We haven't upgraded to getting a dishwasher yet but I hope we do soon. Family of 7 here so it gets to be a bit much, esp on the weekends when everyone is home all day. The other one I hate doing is folding the laundry. No one seems to be able to get a pair of jeans or shirt out without unfolding it all so I have to go back and fold them all over again.

Hi Faith. I love the colour, it looks so fresh and cool. Have you moved? Last time I heard from you you had moved to your ex- husband's house and you were living upstairs. Your daughter was also living there with your grandchildren. Is she still there now that she's married? The brown walls and black ceiling sound really off, so glad you've changed that. What a downer. Tell me, what's a "walk out basement"? I quite enjoy chores around the house but there's not much I can do these days due to my back being such a drag. I can't go up ladders either. So of course, during really bad storms, my kitchen ceiling leaks and there are birds nesting in my chimney as I type. I'll have to get them out somehow before winter. Maybe if I bang on the flue inside they'll get the hint. I've already spoken to them severely from outside. Naturally they ignored me.

Oh i also love doing home repairs and i also love painting...Some people don't like to paint and i supposs its just like anything else ,some things you like and some you don't....Oh your water fall sounds lovely..I have never tried anything like that,it sounds like lots of fun...Ok I will tell you what i don't like, but first let me tell you why i like to paint..It is because painting makes a huge difference in any room,you can repair this or that and thats good but once you have painted a room it makes a huge differenc...Its like a thing that catches you eye when you walk into a room...I also love your color choice, light lavender..Ok now for the things i hate..its blinds i hate hanging blinds, i do it, but i hate it...I also hate hanging wall paper, i do it, and like the results but i hate doing it...I have some memory books i am making for each of my children and i hate doing that,i have a hard time making decisions....I hate to dust...I love doing dishes, weird huh? I have a dishwasher but i enjoy washing dishes.....While we are on the subject i have a small round window that i need to install,i am thinking of tackling it, do you think that will be hard? I don't know..

I don't really mind painting specially if someone else does the rest specially sanding. My whole house needs painting right now, but I"m not sure when we will get to that we need to have some extra money for paint. I don't like vacuuming or ironing that much. And dusting is right there too LOL I"ll be waiting for the pictures when it's finished:)

Theres a lot of things I dont like. I hate cleaning which is why I havent cleaned my room. ive been delaying that for months now. Off course my mom is pissed off that I havent cleaned it yet. I tell her I am going to clean it but I always make up some exucese as to why I havent cleaned it. Even if some of those excuses are true. Still im going have to do it soon or later before my mom explodes.

Hello dear faith c",) i would say you are very talented to do these things on your own. I love painting but just don't have the talent to do it perfectly. I love doing repairs but just couldn't do it right so i leave the works to my dad hahaha but i'll be glad to assist him. Honestly what i hate to do is washing dishes, just let me do anything else in the house except that..lol i don't really know why but it's just me.c",)

Hey you like doing home repairs and remodeling, but hate painting? I will make a deal with you, you come to my house and do all the repairs and remodeling and I will go to your house and do all the painting, because I am the opposite...:)
