That is true. But let me point out, I have 3 kids under 5 and I tend to be fairly clumsy/careless myself when it comes to not denting walls and/or chipping paint.
The colors are good, though! I think our painter only used two coats, as well (maybe less?!) Which either means the paint was good, or the painter was lazy. One or the other.

That's the recommened amount of finish coats for almost all domestic paints, Ken.
The most durable woodwork/trim paint I've ever encountered (that's not from Europe @ $90 per 1/2 gal.) is BM oil-based Satin Impervo. It's 20 years old in some of my clients' homes and still holding up.

Don't get Sherwood Williams! It's a cheap, dollar-store ripoff of the Sherwin Williams products!

I've got a 3 inch hole in the wall, that I've run some PCV pipe through that I want to repair before painting the wall. I'm not going through all the trouble to make the hole bigger and add wood, etc, etc. Someone suggested just using one of those mesh thingi-ma-bobs. I was thinking about making a plug out of drywall that fits tight, push it a little further in than the surface, then fill with spackling and sanding smooth.
Any thoughts here?
The next hole and pipe behind the TV is going to be bigger and in a different spot. Hard to thread several cables in the last one I did.
Well here's a thought. I could just leave it there. It might be handy for a future service hole for running some cable. It'll be behind the TV. The other end is in a closet at floor level. I don't know how I remember all these posts but forget more pressing things... Try this

Putting info here so I can find it easily again.
Awesome! I never even thought of using the boards for that! Let's see: Milk eggs English Muffins Miller Lite Methamphetamine Hustler 2 hookers (get one of each) yogurt Yeah, this using the forum as a personal form of leaving myself a note is great!
