>>>I'm about to do some renovations - painting some rooms (maybe including ceiling(s)), and also ripping out the existing wall-to-wall carpeting and putting in hardwood flooring. If you're doing both of these jobs, what's the recommended order:

>>>- Floor first, so you don't bang up your freshly painted walls while installing the flooring, or get sawdust on them?

>>First question is why are YOU doing the work? Painting, as I have pointed out to my wife, is "woman's work", and so is brick laying, pouring concrete, laying floor tile, etc. I could never get her to do roofing, but she has done all the aforementioned, and is actually pretty good at it. <g>

How bout this one:
Psalms 6:10-11
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-

11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man.
