NFT: Painting fun

Route 9 : 7/9/2020 6:11 pm

With this bullshit going down and no sports I've been getting to all of those house projects and painting was last on my list. Well, we have arrived here.

Got any fun tips and tricks you have used over the years to avoid having a big green smudge on your siding and work around those annoying porch posts?

at what Bob Ross could do in his TV time and how effortlessly he painted landscapes. That voice is so mellow.

Did not realize he was only 53 when he died.

I'm with you. I'd rather do almost anything than paint. I'm not terrible at it, it's just one of those things I'm never satisfied with when I'm done, unlike most other projects I wrap up feeling really jazzed about.

I hate painting

too, but the fact I really can't do anything electrical, plumbing related or heavy construction basically leaves my DIY stuff to painting and landscaping so I do what I can.

taping is the best way I have found to avoid getting paint where you don't want it and other than that not much advice except wear clothes you don't care about. No matter how hard I try I get paint all over me.

I must say I've been impressed with myself during these ass sucking months. I've picked up on all the yard work and did a bunch of car repairs. I flex to the traffic who drives by.

I have to find myself a power washer but I highly doubt I'll get anywhere near one this time of year.

All this shit is expensive as fuck. Who knew chores and bordem are pricey?

Particularly amazing given he was a master sergeant in the Air Force: “I was the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work”, Ross said.
