Just painting? Or also priming or wallpapering?
If you’re only painting, you’ll easily need about a week (full-time).
From my experience, painting one room with a single coat takes around 4-5 hours. Keep in mind, you have to tape everything off, mix paint occasionally, take breaks, prime corners and edges, and wipe off any drips right away.
If you also wash your brushes in the evening and enjoy a post-work beer, that’s about the right timing. Working with two people is a little faster, but strangely not twice as fast.
I would take a few days off—what’s the point of time off if you can’t actually get some work done?

So we will only prime and paint. Sheepskin, both small and large – okay.
14 days is quite a long time. I am self-employed and can do what I want, but my husband (so the small roller is mainly for me) really has to work. But wallpapering is out of the question, it really takes a lot of time, doesn’t it? I thought a week should be enough.

Divide the work among yourselves! Although I haven’t started with my electric heating yet, I have changed the paint color here and there every few years in my old home.
One person should cut in the corners and edges using a brush or a smaller roller first, while the other can follow up with a large roller to cover the main surface using a wet-on-wet technique. During this time, the first person can prepare the edges on the next wall.
The person cutting in should keep a damp cloth handy to immediately wipe off any spots or drips. If the preliminary work such as taping is completed in advance, an impressive amount of progress can be made on painting day.
You should take time off work to paint; otherwise, it’s hard to maintain a consistent rhythm when working on several rooms.

I would always work on three rooms at a time… after an 8-hour workday, that’s still manageable.
That means: fully painting one room (carefully, while you’re still fresh), priming another room (doesn’t have to be perfect), and taping off a third room (which you can manage even when tired), possibly also applying primer. Then repeat this process evening after evening throughout the house. I can confirm that painting one room takes between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the size.

The walls are new, and our construction contract includes these smooth walls. There are those Q-levels for plastering... Do you have better than Q2?
