Old DIY book from 1972 taught me I've been painting wrong
I found this beat up handyman book at a library sale for 50 cents and it said to always paint trim before walls, which is the exact opposite of what I've been doing for 12 years. Last weekend I tried it on my living room in Albany and somehow got way less drips and cleaner lines. Has anyone else found an old book that completely flipped how you do a basic task?

Makes sense when you think about it - trim is the framework that shows every mistake. Paint the walls second and you can just cut sloppy into the trim if you're in a hurry.
