Parents: what did you/are you planning to start/rediscover after your kids go?

<p>Apropos of this topic, does anyone know how long interior wall paint lasts, in unopened cans?</p>

<p>12rmh18, my friend used to go turn off the hot water in the basement when his son spent too long in the shower… never told the kid, he just thought they had a small water heater :)</p>

<p>QuantMech, I don’t know about unopened cans, but I recently reopened a half-used can of interior paint that was at least 5 years old, and it was fine.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, one other thing I forgot – time for me to pimp out my ride. :)</p>
