Hehe! You guys are too funny. Meanwhile, he is still painting! I am trying to stay one step ahead of him and move things away from damage. At this time I also have paint on the shrubbery and lawn. Arhhhhhhhh!
I work in the paint dept. at a renovation shop. The test we advise people to do if they don't know if they have oil or latex paint at home is to put alcohol on a cloth and to rub the wall. If the clothy get stained, it's water based. If you know alcohol is safe for orchids, you can go on and rub it on the paint.
