Good old fashioned roller and tray. Especially NOTHING with the Wagner name
on it. Priming with drywall primer will cause you to use less paint. The
texture mud and the drywall paper don't take paint the same. It'll look
much better with a primer especially if you are using a satin or semi-gloss.

We just bought a new spec house, and we're painting it ourselves as
soon as the drywall is textured. I've heard a lot of bad things about
Wagner Paint Crew power sprayers. What's the best way for a DIY person
to paint the interior of a new house?

Wagner-type sprayer?
Rent a professional sprayer?
Roller?
Power roller?

Also, do I need to prime the texture? I've heard you should, but a guy
told me that the sprayed-on texture has primer built-in.

And should we caulk where our white window/door trim meets the drywall
before cutting in the color on the walls?
