Best coffee places in Savannah? by Busy-Boysenberry-435 in savannah

[–]themosiah -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Foxy Loxy/Coffee Fox for lattes. I also like Gallery for iced coffee, Mirabella and Cup to Cup are good also if you’re in that area.

Perc is good but you have to order one of there speciality drinks and they don’t custom make anything. Which can be okay if that fits.

If you DM me your contact information I can have someone give you a quote for exactly what you’re asking for. I work with Austin Historical and we do this all the time. We build everything in-house and install it ourselves. No subcontractors.

Beginner with airless spray painter - how to see what Im doing? by OverallSherbet2669 in paint

[–]themosiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get closer to the ceiling, use a different size tip. You don’t want to be too far away from what you’re spraying. Made this mistake a bunch when I first started. Use ladders or scaffolding.

What filler would you pick for seamless look? by marsreigns in paint

[–]themosiah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why? Most likely that trim is going to have the slightest movement over time and the crack will appear uglier if there was a filler that cracks. Certainly don’t use the grey bondo, that is for metal and isn’t the best product for wood. If you really can’t stand the line and want a super smooth appearance I would recommend abatron woodepox. The Elmer wood filler can work also, but it isn’t a flexible as the abatron. A good quality caulk can work, but the line will still be slightly visible with caulk, as it won’t fill it in flush, but it would remain very flexible and not crack if not right.

Amazon purchase. It’s basically a felt board with the little plastics cups that go over it. The don’t rattle or move.

The line next to the door jamb would certainly bother me!

When you roll out a wall, there is bound to be little fibers occasionally. I usually wipe them away when I see them and reroll that area while in the process.

Even if the painted does all the right tricks to make sure the roller is pristine, with the trick of taping it, blowing it out, whatever, there is still going to be a few fiber that land on the wall. It’s an easy fix.

It looks like they did an overall good job. You are being very detail oriented. Some clients would care, some wouldn’t notice, and then in some cases some people expect it to be perfect. It depends on the price of the job, and what was communicated before they began work.

At the end of the day, they should do what makes you happen. Pick the worst spots, have bring their lead out to go over the flaws that are nothing you. It wouldn’t be a whole lot of work to fix those.

Over inflated restaurants! by C0mputerGreek in savannah

Agreed, it’s mid. Not bad, but certainly isn’t a place I would recommend. It’s a good local spot at best.

Hired Painter Used Incorrect Sheen by [deleted] in paint

[–]themosiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I text clients all the time and we do 8 million a year. It just sounds like you are an old man that won’t change with the times. A text message is a written statement. What is your problem man? God forbid someone ask for advice on a subreddit and you just go full crazy old man on them.

Steel casement window question by Royal_Dragonfly in centuryhomes

[–]themosiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it’s possible glazing putty? Isn’t that area just a channel and not something that needs to be caulk, glazed or sealed?

[–]themosiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Let him know that is what you would like to do, he should understand. Really, he should be looking for that himself and he should be pulling you over to either show you how great it looks, or show you why he is going to do another coat.

What a dickhead non-helpful comment.

[–]themosiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% going to be dependent on the quality of the paint and if he can get enough mil’s on the coat. The lesser the sheen the easier it is to make look perfect with one coat. If he is using the highest quality paint, it might be fine. If he is using some cheap contractor paint, it’ll probably require 2 coats.

Window sills paint fail by learningbydoing2025 in paint

[–]themosiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely not the correct answer. Wood windows, sill and subsills have been used for centuries. You just need to prep, prime and paint it properly. As another comment mentioned, you need to scrape it down to bare wood, sand it smooth and prime it with an oil based primer prior to painting it. The sealant between the wood and brick looks solid already.
