lordy, I could never do that, what with my ultra premium 48 step process.
No kidding, I'd need the next three days off!


I still don't get how guys can set up the truck, talk to clients, clean, pack up,get check and get to next job in two hours.

I've got to be the slowest ever...

Same here man.

I'm so much quicker when I have my boy Matt (27) with me. Quicker and way less worn out. I went alone because I could handle it but the Kid's getting older and it gets hectic in the busy months...which there are almost 9 of.

I'm going to try to keep him full time through the end of the year, starting in April.

1 FPA job today. Took me longer to wait for the warehouse to unpack the furniture than it did to apply (15 minutes). $480 I'm exhausted from the 45 minute drive each way.
finger tired from holding down the button and the can? :)

I love my airless paint sprayers. $70 bucks or less at the hardware store, adjustable volume setting, fine spray for fine (natural) fabrics. When they crap out, just buy another.
