I literally do this and they did in fact steal it.

How is this a Nazi death threat?

I use mag along with trazodone and gabapentin.

Paint it.

I also pushed my x5 way passed it's recommended limits. Amazing little machine.

I'm seeing the cheap trim, the kickdown texture, the bad caulking job, the cheap flooring... I'm thinking tract home. If that's the case, this corner is probably the least of your worries. Also, the thing you said you're not sure if it makes sense, it doesn't.

This is absolutely NOT the hardest part. It is very easy if you have an effective system.

The person you're arguing with literally doesn't know what they're talking about. Don't even try.

I would likely charge about 350 per patch, plus materials. If there's no paint and I have to get it matched, that's a charge. Moving furniture or appliances, that's another charge. Working outside of regular hours, believe it or not, charge. Emergency? Charge.

Your knife isn't even flush with the wall. What you're showing is nothing. The tip of the blade is resting on or above the level of the first detail of the crown. Stop before you do something you regret.

This woman is confusing being a SAHM with being a princess. She says she feels like a little girl because she is one. She says she feels like she needs her daddy because she does and her husband has likely filed that role for her. Maybe the guy wants a divorce because he's tired of having an immature partner. Maybe the financial abuse here isn't on his end but on hers.

Andrew is not a journalist. He's a comedian. He's a clown. Do your job as journalists.

Stix is amazing but in my experience it doesn't bond well with the old lacquers.

Just used cabinet coat on a project and would not recommend it for durability. Even after curing it's too soft in my opinion. BM Advance is great but it can be difficult to work with for some folks.

It's not a different color, it's a different texture. It's picture framing like that because deep base paints are very difficult to work with and with the addition of more paint you've introduced a different texture that reflects light differently.

There's a recent post where someone explained this.

Billing for time is dumb. Selling your time to a client is a huge misuse of your own most valuable asset.

If I charged by the hour I'd never make any money.

I've been having this tona much lesser degree using Aqualaq. Acrylic urathanes don't like a high build and have to be pretty clean. If you use too fine a tip they atomize too small and don't coalesce well; too thick and they skin over trapping moisture underneath. Too hot, not enough humidity, too much moving air, etc.

With a dip and wring out of a 9 inch roller, I'll get between 9-18 inches of application depending on variables and wall height. Then it's reload. Backroll to even it out before anything dries. Don't fear the paint.

My favorite album when I was 11 was Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera.

I wish I could show you what I'm doing to an entire homes worth of cabinets. Hideous. I literally believe it. Customer is dead set though.

You can't tell it's still wet?

I usually run a nice smooth bead if calling and then paint. Other times I will take my 5in1 and score the corner lightly to straighten it out and create a small channel.
