For requirement #14, it wanted me to help paint a room, learn about different types of paints, and calculate the square footage of a room.
What is the difference between gloss, semi-gloss, satin, eggshell, flat finishes?
Here is a website that help define the differences in paint.

Satin:a fabric in a warp-effect or filling-effect satin weave, as acetate, rayon, nylon, or silk, often having a glossy face and a soft, slippery texture.
