painter. Do i seek out the best job for the least price painter? What

see a sample of their work? <g> I'd go for the card carrying union
painter no matter what color he/she is. You'll pay more and get a
quality job. Others *might* give a quality job, but there is no way
of knowing unless you've seen their work.

didnt say if you need scrape and paint, or if it;s new stuff. You can
sure get stuck. If I buy the paint and make sure it's good paint, it
usually is ok. The painters will buy the cheapest paint with the
biggest discount, to them, and then it doesn't last anytime in our kind

If you are a racist, then by all means use that criteria.
Do i seek out the best job for the least price painter?
Yes. Best thing to do is talk to the references he gives you. I can
usually find a friend who can make recommendations for handyman sort of
stuff. Someone else gave good advise, buy the paint yourself and buy
the good stuff.

Actually i could have given ten or twelve options but no matter the

Are you a supporter of labor unions? If so, I'd say get a union
painter. In which case, call the painter's local. They'll have a work

job.

I did partly run a business. In the 70s I was the Secretary Treasurer
of a small steel company. We bought steel from the large companies
such as Bethlehem and Crucible and cut it into smaller pieces and sold
to tool shops throughout the northeast. There were smaller foreign
steel companies that we could have bought from but we didn't as their
steel was cheaper but also wasn't as good.
I was involved in the office end of the business and we didn't have
computers back then. We were very dependent on our office machines,
on our warehouse tools, the saw blades, the oxygen, the reliable long
distance service and we always bought the best with the best service
and the best warranty on everything. Our reputation depended on
selling good steel and good service.

For me it would depend upon what kind of painting is required. If it were
an outdoor job, I'd buy the paint at Home Depot and hire a worker outside
the parking lot. If the job involved interior painting, I'd get a referral
from Home Depot themselves. Both solutions would be if I couldn't con Sweet
Wife into doing the job for nothing....

You did not specify what you needed painting or the urgency of the matter...
If it is your house, you could always sell and move into another that does
not need painting.
OR....
If it is an inside room, you could always empty the room out, seal the door,
wallpaper over it and pretend it is not there.

You know, that's really weird! About two hours ago Summer and Shani
were discussing what sort of necklace Shani needs to wear with a
geniune 60's
dress that she bought....and I said "pop-its"....

But they don't make them now. Fake pearls were popular then, worn
with a cardigan sweater buttoned backwards. :-) Oh! And with that
dress, a gold chain with a single pearl hanging down. That was all
the rage too. Only it was supposed to be your boyfriend who gave it
to you.

Heavens, no! I think the girls played with them when the were at
the 'dressing up' stage, and broke all the connections off.

A long string of white beads, but they won't be pop-its! <G>

Yes, thanks, Toddy.
We didn't have a lot of screaming hot weather, which was nice.
I've been doing some consulting for my former employer, and managed to earn
enough to pay for all the expensive things I did to the cottage. I had new
windows installed in the living room/kitchen,. bedrooms, bathroom and back
porch, had an air conditioner installed (so my mother and aunt, who cannot
tolerate extreme heat, can go out there, and know they won't have to go back
to town to get cooled off), and am waiting for the new eavestroughs to
arrive, and the new siding to be put on.
The new windows are great. I can leave them open, and still get up in the
night without cracking my head on one! LOL
Of course, with a cottage on an island, you have another consideration that
Richard apparently does not consider. You have to find some way of getting
the worker(s) and all his materials to your location. I find the easiest way
is to hire a neighbour who has his own boats, and whose tools are already
all on the island. I pay directly for the materials (at the local
lumber/hardware store), and then just pay separately for the labour. Since I
am pretty flexible about when the work is done, he fits me in around his
more demanding customers, and gives me a price break. My brother can't
believe how little I paid for the window installation (either could I - I
remember what I paid for similar work in the city, where I had three
different quotes), and wanted to check the work (which he did, and found it
to be excellent)
My cousin sold his large boat (since replaced), and my mother and aunt can't
get in and out of the small one, so we borrowed the neighbour's pontoon boat
for a couple of cruises. I think I need one of those! My brother and I are
going to check them out at the boat show in January.
But now that I have the money for that, I'm saving up to come to AUstralia!
