Just plain water washes off all the dirt and grime. Exterior surfaces should always be washed, no exceptions. For inside painting, most doesn't ever need to be washed unless a smoker inside or in well-used kitchens that can accumulate grease. Even hand oils around kitchen cabinets and door edges need to be cleaned. For inside cleaning, I found a new product a few years ago and it's good.... "Greased Lightning" For the serious grease problem, "Wilbond" is very good but it's flamable and you need to wear a respirator when using it. Only use this one for something that you are going to paint...not for general cleaning. |

So very much cheaper per blade and they have many uses, not just for paint on glass. |

He probably could have made a lot of money doing that. He did good work and was fast and efficient. I know lots of people who have build a rec room as a long term project. He did it on the weekend,tile floor, studs, drop ceiling and paneling. His brother and SiL were flipping houses at the time. They would buy a house, live in it for a year or two and move on to another. My best friends family flipped a few. They started off down the road from us and did major renovations for a couple years then sold for a handy profit and bought a 45 acre farm, did major and minor renovations and made enough to move back to our old town in a much bigger and nice house. This was just outside Toronto where real estate was booming. Then they moved out to BC and went through a progression of nicer and nice homes. They ended up with millions worth of real estate, mostly through flips. |

Would you use water or oil based paints for indoors woodwork? Would you use a primer for indoor woodwork if you're painting over a (sanded) old coating of oil based paint? |

For interior woodwork, I've always preferred oil and it's usually going over old oil paint - no primer necessary. It gives a much smoother and harder finish. Sadly, oil based paint is on the way out. It's already been outlawed in northern Virginia years ago. > Would you use a primer for indoor woodwork if you're painting over a > (sanded) old coating of oil based paint? All this is why I'm happy to be leaving the trade slowly. Most old houses used oil paint on woodwork. Despite the claims by paint companies, you can't sand and apply water based paint on top. I tried it on my bathroom door...still peels off. Not even water based primer that claim to do the job. You wouldn't believe how many houses I've had to fix after someone used waterbased over oil. It's a real mess. You can't sand it smooth, it just rolls up. Even a fingernail can start a peel. NOW, to use waterbased over oil paint, the only way to do it properly is to use an oilbased primer first, then 2 coats of waterbased paint. The first coat soaks in a bit and doesn't leave a good finish. All of the sudden, you need to charge for 3 coats instead of the normal two coats. Customers don't like that extra cost. I'm sure Joan could do it easily without the extra step though. ;) |

Still a lot of ornate wood work! And built back when some people still had servants! In fact the Municipal Codes still contain the phrase "(excluding servants)", and NO ONE has servants anymore.

Over the years, I've painted every room in my house with water based paint except the bathrooms. I even went from whitish to forest green to whitish in the living room. By the time I finished two walls, one was dry enough and I had two to go. And then, I'd repeat.Once, I painted a popcorn ceiling with a roller, and that didn't go well. That ceiling is smooth, but painted, today. It's the only one in the house like that. On the other hand, I don't paint fast and have had no interest in painting more than one room in a day. So, unlike Gary, I paint a room as a project, not a houseful of rooms as a job. Now, I won't even stand on the bottom rung of a ladder without support, so my iffy painting days are over. ==== I am very glad you recognise that:)) |

In reality, many companies make good and bad products. Ben Moore is the alpha and carries the good reputation. They do make good products but are way overcharging for them. Like buying a new TV and paying extra for the name, "Sony." Many other equally good brands for less. In my painting, I usually do use Ben Moore. They are good, and I don't care about the cost because the customer pays for paint, not me. I'm just the middle man for paint. I buy it and pass the cost on to the customer. Customers like the name brand. Again, in reality, some best products are from other companies and often cost less. Rustoleum is a very good paint for metal surfaces and very inexpensive. The Ben Moore metal paint is way more expensive and not as good. For sealing wooden decks with clear sealer, Thompson's Water Seal (oil based) is just as good as any other brand on the market and about 1/4 the cost of many. And I've tried several other brands and noted the results. In my work truck, I always keep about 6 different kinds of primer. None is an all in one. Each brand has a use for specific situation. |

I seem to remember them as about sardine-sized green cans or maybe just a tiny bit larger. Same shape though. I thought they tasted well enough but then, I didn't have to rely on just them for several days. I'd like to try a few of the newer MREs someday. |
