NWI INGO General Post Part 19 - LegOs, Glocks and iPhones!

[darkkevin]

My wife wants the exterior of the house painted this summer. Not looking forward to that. I do have a commercial airless sprayer that will pump straight from a 5 gallon bucket. But not sure how to get to the 3rd floor or the gutters on the back of the house. Scaffolding may be the only solution?

You figure it out let me know, our house could use paint too. Bucket truck sounds like an awesome idea but probably not financially reasonable.

I need a general contractor to remove an existing garage and build a new one.

HIRE someone.

HIRE someone.

I have a commercial sprayer and would have no problem doing the main level. It's the tall bits that worry me. Honestly I'd love to find someone who (is insured) would be willing to do the top half of the house and the second floor of my workshop.

I'd rather go to your INGO pool party than to Jedi's All lubed up with KY Jelly BATHTUB party.

Just sayin

Not that there's anything wrong with that. (For the PC Crowd.)

Can you imagine trying to get out of the tub? I'd probably break something.

Painting from a ladder, or even worse scaffolding, is a pain.

Look into renting an articulating boom lift like a JLG or Genie for a day or two. You get it dropped off and picked up, and the delivery person will show you how to run it.

They really are pretty easy to run and by far the safest option for working aloft.

That sounds like a job for a professional.

Crisco Slip-N-Slide for the less adventurous (or us old folks).

My house is on a ridgeline. Right on the edge. There is no way to get a vehicle, Genie, etc around the back side safely. I have a tractor with 3000# of weight in the rear wheels and its a butt puckering experience to move it behind the house, easier to go down the slope about a hundred yards from the house, come back up from the low ground through a wooded path, but based on my past use of lifts, there is no way to navigate a Genie type lift back up to the house through the woods. At least none that I would attempt.

To be fair, I was never cool, so I got that lack of self-esteem going for me!

Pretty sure that is my only real answer.

 

[KLB]

Duh

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

I STILL hate painting, but at least I don't have melensdad's problem.

 

[Bill2905]

Pretty sure that is my only real answer.

Endecca Painting in Hobart painted the exterior of my house last spring. Their estimate was the best of three that I got, they did a very neat job and were in and out in two days. I was at work both days they were here and never saw them. Sure, it cost some $$$ but no way I'm capable of doing that huge job.

Anyone see any .41 mag, let me know.
I have a coworker looking for some.
He's not a new shooter.
But he didn't stockpile.
And I haven't seen any in awhile.

Salesmen don't think there's gonna be any in the near future.
