Oh man my neighbors are painting their house blueberry blue right now it's pretty bad. Worst part is they are doing it themselves

Words of advice from a guy who painted professionally for 8 years. Get Benjamin Moore paint, Purdy Brushes and Rollers, roll out of a bucket with a screen not a pan.
For that stucco if your hand painting it ether get a real thick nap roller or a thick Lambskin roller cover. When your done with your roller covers and brushs put them in a bucket of hot water with some hair conditioner for about 30 min then sure brush your brush, it helps keep the shape and clean easier.
If you want to make a space look bigger use high gloss white paint on the ceiling and trim then a eggshell or satin finish on the walls, it will give the illusion of depth. Bathrooms, kitchens and kids bedrooms should be done in semi gloss only (so they can be wiped down without having wipe marks like another finish paint.

Just finished the base color on that side of the house a few hours ago. I hadn't measured before, but just measured and it's right at 1000 square feet of surface area. It required approximately 2.7 gallons of paint and a little more than a quart of primer for my spot-priming efforts. I may or may not do a second coat next spring. I put a second coat on a small area and it sure seemed like the second coat went much faster.
Anyone have any rough guess re: how much a pro painter would charge to paint 1000 square feet of standard lap siding? Tell me a big number so I feel good about doing this myself! :-)

I know you've worked your butt off, and it looks like you're doing a good job...... and there's no way that doing it yourself would have cost more than having it contracted.
But I'd say about $14,000 dollars....

Well back in the day we use to charge $1.25 per ft for commercial and depending on the house about the same or more if it was more than 1 story. Now I know they are getting paid very week but not sure per sq ft. We always loved doing the Foux or Ralph Laren paint in "Custom" homes up on coal creek. $3.75 for foux and depending on the GO finish in upwards of $5
