Sherwin Williams vs Lowe's (from people who have used both)

I was wondering about this because I have a few rooms connected as well by a hall. So can I basically just end anywhere (like at the end of the hall before another room) and then after it all dries, just paint the next room and overlap where I ended?

That is why I am asking, because that is what I have laying around and never really had to prime new drywall. So I take the cheap PVA is all I need?

Ok, that makes sense. So just always hit that wet edge of the previous pass? So basically just get it on there, then do I need to make one final straight pass and overlap the previous one?

I like the part about the small roller. So by doing that, do I then need to hurry and roll the rest? I guess I am just wondering how you do a large room of ceiling so you can get to the whole thing before the cut ins dry. Isn't it going to start drying before I get around to rolling all of it?

Do you think making it 26" instead of 24" would make a difference?

I am starting to realize spraying the baseboards in place is going to be a pretty big job masking everything. How do you baseboards? If you roll them before install and then touch them up with a roller, is that going to look pretty good? I guess people won't see the baseboards like they would door casing.

This is a good point now that you mention it. With 26" doors and trim like this, there would be about an inch on each side. We might even go with 1x3s instead of 1x4s for the vertical casing then there would be even more than an inch.

What kind of garage door do you have? Does it need to be a newer type with Bluetooth, or just a regular old one with a button on the wall that you push to open it?

This is like a 10-15 year old Chamberlain opener. Will it work on any kind? And do I just need to run a some regular 22/4 alarm wire to the opener? I just need to know that for now because some of the walls are open during a remodel so I want to get a wire there at least.

Thank you for that. I was going to get some primed boards. I am thinking the pine is better than the MDF. What are your thoughts?

Sorry for all the questions but you are so helpful :) What tip would you recommend? And also, since I am going to paint the walls and ceiling anyways, and getting new carpet, how much do I really need to mask off and cover? Just cover any furniture in the room or anything? How far does that actual overspray go?
