So for the last two days my two cousins have been painting the inside of my mom & dad's house. Tonight my mom and I were putting the kitchen back, Instead of nice and neatly putting all thier stuff in boxes, my cousins just threw all of it in a big pile on the dining room table and in the living room. Now we have to search and sort through a huge mess. On top of that they didn't move any of the appliences. So now we have unpainted areas in the kitchen. I wish they would have done it the right way instead of just hurrying up and bulling into it.

@Bigdude1981: you've learnt a lesson in life there bud,never get family to do a job,employ a pro or DIY,if you employ a pro they have to do a proper job because that's their livelyhood,even if fam are pro's would you bad mouth em for doin a sloppy job and risk their livelyhood,that's why they're less caring about the job

@chunkymonkey67: I wish our paint here was like the paint you guys have there... Seen it on BBCA and I was floored at how thick it is.

true but they offered to do it. We can't turn down the help of family. Family always comes first.
