sparquelito Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Beth and I had the roof replaced back in August, and the dingy grey roof shingles were replaced with fresh new vivid burnt red coloured roofing. I thought for the past few months to go ahead and paint the front door and the shutters, since they were a faded, sun bleached shade of rose pink. And the contrast between the two reds was bloody awful. Anyway, today and yesterday I endeavored the masking and the careful, meticulous job of painting a single front door and six lousy shutters. MAN, that is some detail-intensive work!! My hat is off to you fellows who paint houses for a living. Glad with the outcome though, I must say. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Nice house Sparky. I took up painting professional when I was laid off from the Railroads, (3 times.) Actually a house that size I used to do in less than a day, But thats using a airless sprayer and back brushing it and then going over it with a second coat with the sprayer. Then the trim and no masking off. Looks real nice though Sparky. Nice place. Yeah, I painted residential and commercial. inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I've been doing it for 45 years. You get a plus for that long Larry. I thought about it after I retired, I had to do the sons house inside and out and all the trim. Knees were shot so I gave it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knees were shot so I gave it up. I'm 60 now and my knees, back and shoulders are worn out. Through two head impacts at work I've got trigeminal neuralgia. I suffer with extreme anxiety too. I worn out and wish I could retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
