What kinda spray gun? I have a HVLP auto spray gun. It doesn't like thick paints, and I could thin out the house paint.

Also with the spraying I didn't want to have to tape all the windows up and sofets.

Yah I hate painting too. But to hire someone is out of this summers budget. They want couple thousand.
what you want is an airless sprayer, a big one, like this

available at your favorite rental shop
the overspray isn't that bad, depending on how close you are to your neighbours, it doesn't make a cloud or anything, but you definately want to do it on a calm day

masking everything is a bit of a PITA, but think about painting the house in a couple of hours instead of a couple of days and you'll find the masking ain't so bad
