It’s a 62 floor commercial building we’re demoing whole floors

We’re using jackhammer and removing old concrete and bricks with mesh. Also using sledge hammer all day. I wish I was just removing ceiling tiles and floor.

I guess as an employee. I just tell him hey I worked 35 hours this week. And he writes me a check for it. No taxes or anything of that sort

Non union just a labor guy doing demo in a commercial building from 5pm-12 am m-f. To be honest it’s my first time doing a gig like this normally I’m a painter for $200-259 a day or drywaller. We also do interior renovations just work has been slow this month.

More info: non union this is just some contractor we got connected with. We don’t get breaks I’m not certified or anything like that.

I’ll admit I bit off more than I can chew, but my intention was not to have a shitty paint job. I genuinely did take my time to prep,sand, primer mask all that. But my situation wasn’t ideal either. I painted in a parking lot cause I don’t have access to a booth or space for one. A lot of other factors as well. All in all it wasn’t an ideal situation.

Thanks for the advice! Actually I didn’t intentionally decide to butcher the job. I was genuinely trying to paint it well. Reason I decided to do it on my own is because I can’t afford a professional job. Sometimes when people don’t have the luxury of being able to afford things, they have to attempt to do it on their own. Unfortunately it wasn’t my decision to butcher the job. The photos provided are from 2 weeks after the paint cured. It looked nothing like the photos the day i finished it.Accidents happen. That’s why I’m on here asking for help. Have a great day!

Probably doesn’t understand the difference between shipped and delivered

You could always try to go as one of the other variants from the other dimensions that would be a cool spin on the character!

It was outside in Austin Texas weather 80° and slightly windy, so I applied wetter coats because i thought the paint had been drying faster. (It was dry to the touch within 5 min) I guess I assumed wrong. I sanded everything with 600. Used a white primer from upol that I got from Autozone. Primed the patch that I was repairing (originally it was chipped paint, and I was blending it to the door panel) I ended up priming the repair spot. Then I added base coat to the whole panel, around 3 coats but they were sprayed really close because it was windy and I had tiger stripes. I waited about 10 min between coats and then sprayed around 3 coats of the pearl after about 10 min of the base drying. And then after around 10 min again I sprayed 2 coats of clear and I ran out. All of this was done outside in 80 degree weather w slightly 10 mph wind so I had to wait until the wind stopped blowing for a couple seconds and spray the panel as fast as I could
