Thanks to HomeRight for sponsoring this post! I’ve told this story before: how I spent a long time researching paint sprayers, got overwhelmed by all the information and choices, and then went to the Ace down the street and grabbed the first paint sprayer we saw in our price range.

post contains affiliate links This weekend Milo is having a very belated birthday party (his actual birthday was back in May, but we waited until now for the party for assorted reasons too boring to get into).
