I would wager that Bowtie and I will dispute that....lol.

Weather looks good for this week, so the siding, soffits, and the rest of the exterior should get done...

Okay, okay. Beer is SOME people’s first choice. But we already questioned both of your guys’ sanity to begin with! LOL

People think I'm crazy, but mine is tequila. I'm just a bit twisted though.

If I drink at all, I like whiskey. But for me, I’m still mostly cracking open a cold soda or water. Rarely do I drink.

I bought the Magnum XL sprayer for my project… totally worth it. I painted a 600sqft room with 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of flat black - walls and ceiling. First coats were about 30 min and 2nd coats took 12 minutes. 12 minutes to paint the walls and ceiling of a 20x30 room was pretty sweet.
I’m doing my 800sqft garage, walls and ceiling, this weekend. I’m hoping that the 30” wand extension keeps me off of the ladders and feet on the ground. Makes painting way less of a chore. Cleanup was about 10-15 min.

Great progress!

Where did you get that sprayer?

Amazon. With the wand and extra tip I think I’m into it $350. A comparable sprayer, rented from HD, is over $100 for a couple hours…

2 coats of primer, 1 top coat. Stipple done this morning. I buttoned up the electrical, mounted cabinets, cleaning up dust. Did I mention there’s a chit ton of dust? Tomorrow I will finish the door back hang and springs, mount opener. Then wash floor and roll the Kitty back over!
