FC Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Our church building to house project. Much nicer with the acoustic tiles and 1912 wallpaper gone. This project will take a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Really slow. We’re paying as we go. I’ve been going twice a year to work on it. The contractor who does some of the work seems to have us as dead last priority. Right now I’m blowing insulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan8312005 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 My home is somewhere between 150 - 200 yrs old. Is the planking on the walls and ceiling tongue and groove? We have something very similar in our walls. Tough stuff... will burn a blade up trying to saw through it. We also had some old wallpaper...lol.. cant believe the patterns people liked back then , some really hideous stuff . lol. Gonna be a beautiful place when your done though.

I get written estimates and have them break down the cost to each job. When they finish a task I pay only for the specific job. Learned the hard way to never pay up front for material. I get a materials list, buy it giving me the ownership. They seem to be a bit more anxious to complete the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 That'll get tough when doing electrical work, with the gazillion components. Otherwise, us buying the supplies is what my wife said to do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 This is what happens when you think your paint sprayer does, but it’s just a clogged filter. I was taking the hose off! B-I-N cosmetics off with 30% ammonia- ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 That's really coming along. And that paint will wear off in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About ten years ago I hired a couple workers to spray a house. I don't know how but one guy's face was covered with latex paint. He smeared cheap dollar store margarine on his face then wiped it off and paint came off with the margarine. He repeated it and the second time his face was completely clean. In broken English he said he uses margarine so it wouldn't burn his eyes or nose. As I mentioned, it was latex. Can only speculate how well the method will work with oil based paint or even latex based primer like Kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Gotta know, which circus freak side show did you find that painter???? Just kidding!! Next time the disposable painter's hoods are pretty cheap at the biggie hardware stores. The hood and face masks allow use of a filter mask underneath. At worse you might get some paint around eye sockets. If you don't use a filter mask you might as I did get some paint trapped on nasal hair.

FC Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I have a 3M full-face respirator for the B-I-N. Didn’t help all that much. I got blasted because I thought the paint sprayer motor died, and I was going to put the hose on my brother’s sprayer. Thanks for the margarine idea. It won’t work on shellac-based primer though.

karlunity Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 As long as it did not get the eyes you are ok. I have worn those plastic googles...wimpy I know but I only got two eyes. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
