as for color, i did white for now just so i can get moved in as i am on a time schedule. the kitchen though will get color asap.
the lights upstairs ... yea, already replaced two of the four with new cans and i have two more cans in the basement just waiting to finish floors and trim before i put them in. wiring lights is a piece of cake.
Yeah. I'm with you there. People always ask who I hired to paint and I tell them I did it myself, but I don't think they realize how much work was involved. (My living room has cathedral ceilings and I painted that in a weekend (4 coats, a 24' extension pole, 18' ladder and balls of steel.))
almost 4 gallons for just that room.
