What a horrible job.

We've had rentals for many years, and always paint between tenants, two colors with trim, semi- gloss in kitchen and bath, you know that drill. Wanted each one to be something we would move into. I figure that since I do the painting, I'm cutting costs that way.

I've calculated paint quantities before, and the arithmetic is laborious but simple and straightforward. I was just surprised that an online tool with "intelligence" in the name would blow the arithmetic so badly.
