I don't recall hearing you say DH asked you to finish his job. He didn't seem too concerned with leaving them there to dry up. I would just let it be. I have to leave this darn thread now before I stick my foot in my mouth.....

did y'all notice how GAL totally ignored my colossus post?! she's probably chasing him around the room, and wishing he was 'polyorchid' right now!

Deesandy, go to the 'Lurker Adoption Thread' and one of us will scoop you up as a cyberchild! Then you'll understand. We're all cyber-related!

You are (pardon me, Colossus), a cutie patootie!

(Never thought I'd say that phrase again after that recent Scruples thread.)

Oh, now, Tabby, that was close enough! How funny!

Please! Colossus has all-consuming 'healthier' pursuits.

'scuse us, we've been cross-pollinating here. Dee, Colossus and I are not related, so it's legal. Tabby, ROFL!!! Colossus has been ne-heer-ne-horning at this thread since he finally read it.

I am totally, 100% in agreement with Sanfranjoshfan on this one. That's all I'm saying.

9:00pm...rollers still in shower.

I checked on them and they seem pretty clean except where the paint has settled on the floor where they sit.

Still trying to keep up with who's who! Colossus and GAL are a couple and Herckle adopted them, right? Or did Tabby adopt?

I'm with Sanfranjoshfan too. You've been stewing over this all day,what a waste of negative energy. Either ask him to move them,or do it yourself. Can't you just be honest with him,without flying off the handle?

colossus and herckle are adopted kids of tabby. GAL is the lucky one who sleeps with colossus. GAL and tabby's real mom have the same family name. we are therefor, Wheeler-dealers. confused yet?!

uh, dee, it looks like you are still worried about the rollers, with the update on them at 9:00. put yourself in my place, and it won't look so bad. it's only 6:30 here. LOL

Stewing?

I thought I was having fun with my new friends who are not focusing on the negitive!

Unlike some...

let me tell you a story...
about 8 years ago, my dh put crown molding and 5 inch baseboard in the living room. the baseboard he put throughout the house. 2 summers ago he also painted the trim on the front of the house. about 18 months ago, he and dd began to make a game table for the family room, which was to be my 2002 christmas present.
well, you move the couch and you see where he didn't finish trimming and stapling down the baseboard.
the back of the house never got the trim painted. the game table is merely a top and may never have legs on it.
so what?!
i still go to bed each night next to man who has provided for me and a boy who was not even a year old when we met; he married me and adopted this boy to be his own; we had a daughter together; he commutes 92 miles each way to work.
i have never needed anything he has not provided.
man, am i a lucky woman! will the finishing touches ever get done? i don't know. i just tell people, "we are 99% done with 99% to go!"

I wanna hear how Dee and DH met and married. Tabby, you are a lucky, lucky woman. And it's nice to know that you know that. I'll bet it's nicer to be him, knowing that you know that. And he knows back the same thing, and you know he knows too. Ain't it romantic?

dee, we are having fun, but it still looks a little as if you are worried (stewing) about the rollers. maybe it was the update you gave at 9:00, which is why i tried to lighten it up by letting you be on pacific standard time!

Well, the sock thread went on for a couple months and everyone had a little fun with it. The sock could have been picked up at any time by the person who started it--but they didn't so that they could see how long it took someone to take responsibility to deal with it--and in the mean time it provided a little humor to a lot of folks.

I see this as the same thing (the sock thread person thought their souse or kids should have dealt with it and said as much.

How is this much different?

I'll throw in my perspective--the way I'd do things if I were doing the painting project.

First, I'd use a utility sink or sink in the garage or laundry room. (not a big deal if it gets a little messy in those areas--that is what they are for.

If I don't have that in my place, and had rollers, I'd head straight for the tub. A sink in the kitchen or bathroom would a bad idea to me--it would take up a sink used frequently, and most likely a big mess would result from the process of cleaning the roller(s). Brushes aren't as bad--rollers can cause a bit more water splash. So, I'd look to avoid creating a tougher mess to clean up after cleaning up my paint mess.

The shower surface should be much easier to clean. That, and give me more room than a smaller sink.

Soaking rollers makes the actual job of cleaning go faster--but does take up space. I'd be sure to scrape my rollers well, and use hot or at least really warm water and clean them fast--but that is a quirk I have--waiting is not a bad idea energy wise.

I'd get them cleaned up and the tub/shower clean before others typically took a shower. (based on the household schedule I was a part of)

I wouldn't announce it--I'd just do it (and I wouldn't expect my SO to explain the reasoning behind why she does things a certain way). If asked, I'd say why I was doing it, and if told I was causing problems, I'd ask the other person what they'd be happier with.

I wouldn't ever intentionally set out to cause any grief by the clean up process I was using after painting. If I was doing that, I hope someone would say something (and that includes a situation like the sock from awhile back)
