Been a residential painting contractor for 25 years.
Finding quality help has always been what I've struggled with the most.
Mostly. The only good guys I've ever hired were found through my contacts in the commercial painting world. Older guys that were tired of the commercial rat race and...
My 86 that I also bought from my dad.
Lifted it. Built up the motor. Had the 4 speed and transfer case rebuilt. Was a fun truck. Should have never sold it.
Sisters 76 she drove her senior year. 1990. Was my old mans. He blew it up and had me and a buddy pull the motor and detail the engine bay at 14. We thought we were studs. Him and his buddy built up a 350. Cam, roller rockers big carb. Then gave it to my sister. She rallied it. Traded it for a...
Its almost guaranteed if i forget to bring my trash cans in at night the bears hit them.
They have broke into my garage and wife's car.
Blasting them with rubber buck works pretty good to detour them. And it's kinda fun.
We stayed at Eldorado Royale by Karisma for the wifes girlfriends wedding last year. All inclusive
Adults only. Was pretty rad. Full bottles of booze in the room. You want coors light. They make sure your fridge is filled every day. We got a killer room. Beach and pool view, jacuzzi tub...
Got married in Akumal in 02. At la buenavida.
One the wife's birides maid got married at an all inclusive near there on our 20th anniversary so we went back to check it out. Love Akumal but the sargazm (sp) sea weed crap was terrible so we blew off staying there.
So correct me if I'm wrong. Penetrol is an oil based paint extender.
Meaning it slows the dry time down to allow it to level. The acetone will speed up the dry time making the Penetrol useless.
I thin "oil bases" with mineral spirits and Penetrol. I can get great finishes cutting and rolling...
Lynx lake is pretty. Lake used to be dog friendly. Easy walking trail all the way around. Idk now.
Used to do alot of atc riding and gold paning with my mom in that area in the 80s.
Take the kids to the The Waffle Iron for breakfast 😋.
Loved that place as a kid. Would always make it a point to eat there when I'd go visit my mom and grandma as an adult.
Been 8 or so years since I've been.
Grandma like The Rose restaurant.
I do the dawn dish soap, sponge and squeegee. I'll ad a shot of dishwasher jet dry to the mix.
If they are really filthy ill hit them with a blue scotch bright while it's all soaped up.
Been a painting contractor for 25 years.
Never asked for a dime up front. Pretty sure it's one of things that keeps me busy. My contracts do state that payments are to be made every 2 weeks. I never ask for it unless the client is squirrely. Which has only happened a handful of times.
I put in...
We primed a house with a tinted primer in an hoa neighborhood on a Friday. Primer was a terrible aqua color. House was empty, getting a huge remodel.
Get a call from the builder late Friday night wanting us to go spray over it the next morning. Homeowners were getting blown up by neighbors...
In the middle of BFE my buddy gets a call.
Holy crap. We have service.
Well it's one of his buddies. He's stuck on his dirt bike. We decifer were hes at. We had been there earlier and decided not to go through it. Lol.
Head down the mountain for a rescue. Let the kids handle it...
Saturday we hung out and waited for the rain to slow down. Hit the trail and it started pouring 10 minutes later. Wife's and kids weren't pumped but they were cool.about it. Dads had fun.
