Re: Heidi's "I think the prep work took about twice as long as the paint work."

I don't doubt it.  Add to that the cost of incidental carpentry
repairs, and I'd be curious how 100% increase in paint cost impacts
the total job cost.  Another measure is the cost per square foot for
the painting operation vs the paint coverage cost.

I'll file that thought away.  Thanks.  Would be good to see empirical
side-by-side comparison of this Schreuder stuff.
