Well, actually using a roller and paintbrush (not birds)...
It's come time to make a few changes in life... My elderly dad lives in his home by himself, and he's gotten to the point where it is hard for him to completely look after himself anymore, so my husband and I are going to move into his home within the next few months. It's big enough for all of us, which will be nice.
So basically our private area will be 2 large rooms at the back of the house. The house hasn't seen a new coat of paint in decades, so that is one thing certainly on my priority list. Yay, fun picking out colors! As long as my dad still has his Jack Russell terrier (aka small animal killing machine), the birds will be living in the rooms with us.
Now I know when you move into an apartment, they might just have painted recently before you move in, it gets aired out, and by the time you are in, the birds are fine. My question is - I've never painted a house before, and wonder HOW LONG after you're completely done with all the coats of paint does it take to fully dry and air out with windows open before moving the birds in? Any idea? I've got to imagine someone here who owns birds has painted in their home before.
Thanks
