Paint Job Estimator Python 2

This program calculates the cost of a paint job by: 1) Asking the user to input the square footage of wall space and cost per gallon of paint. 2) Calculating the number of gallons needed based on 125 square feet per gallon. 3) Calculating labor costs by multiplying hours needed by $42.5 per hour. 4) Calculating paint costs by multiplying gallons needed by cost per gallon. 5) Printing the results including gallons needed, labor hours and costs, and total cost.
