Tasks for today:

You MUST finish the design and have Mr. Spivy approve it.

Use the paint calculator found at http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/paint-calculator to determine how many gallons of paint you will need for each room. For this, you need to know the length and width of the room. The height will be 12 feet. You will also need to decide how many doors and windows will be in each room.

After determining how many gallons you need for room, then decide how much the paint will be and the color of the paint.

If you finish this, Mr. Spivy needs to approve of it. Remember that your budget for pain is $20,000.
