was not much, just around the tub. Its the smaller bathroom where the master is. I was going to paint the walls for Jan, ....30 minute job at most since this is a small area....I found the can of paint for where I did it some 15 years earlier. I shook it up good. I was pleased I had a third of a gallon left. Shook the hell out of that can....put it on the workbench, got out my flatblade and opened up the lid.....OMG! The paint had SOURED. Have you ever smelled soured Latex paint?That crap will curl your toenails and invert your nose hairs. Not to mention the odor coats your nasal passages and lungs so even when you slam the lid shut, the after effects are still quite pungent. This stuff would gag a maggot ridin' a gut wagon....This crap is goin in the trash.I guess its off to Lowes to get more paint. Now this is not just go and get an exact match at Lowes Paint run......I HAVE bring Jan with me cuz EVEN IF I bring the paint code from the can, a paint sample and get the exact same match that is STILL in their computer and bring it home without her explicit approval.....SHE WILL say......."Its off a shade"But bringing here with me (bear in the the process will be 100 percent identical) to get this paint.....I can come home, repaint the bathroomand rest assured in all confidence that she will come in when donea nd say"oh that looks good, its a perfect match".This is one of the many things I have learned in 30 plus years of marriage. I dont even TRY to understand this. I just KNOW its a "wimmin thang" and have learned to accept it. 4951

Stealth83 is right.  Home improvement has a curious effect on some women, myself included.  If I repaint dingy walls so that they look fresh, it great, but it makes me notice how worn my rugs look in comparison.  So I replace the rugs. Then I notice that the old curtains don't look with the new paint and rugs, so I replace the curtains. By using this technique, I ended up getting the entire house repainted, lighting fixtures replaced, new tile and hardwood, new kitchen appliances, etc, etc, in our old house.  😄I wonder why my DH trembles every time I tell me that we need to go to Lowes?  4951
