    Dulux and crown trade and the bnq gear terrible imo, watery, low opacity and coverage, iv allways used leyland/johnstones and my father also used the same for his painting life, try and get trade gloss as this is designed for trade work and is a joy to use, iv never had a bad batch or any yellowing on my work, bnq paints are all waterd down pish even their “trade” ranges aint the same as others just dont!!!! Lol

    I gained my tickets when i worked for connaught, as they went into admin i was a (painter/foreman) then some of their contracts were bought by fountains who did motorway tree felling/grass cutting so i got tuped over and became a tree feller, then got a 6month contract with the local council, atm im in a stop gap doing spray booth instalation and commercial gas/air/water pipe fitting, its shite dirty and crap pay. A good job im looking into is working with naughty kids, minimal training, get paid to go mountainbiking,paintballing etc job satisfaction and good money as my failed attempts at being in the old bill wound me up.

    I loved my old job as a arborist (tree feller) and cutting grass on ride on mowers, tunes on shorts and sunglasses, awsome but alas it is seasonal so may be back in march!!!

    There was a dream job a while back for a caretaker on a desert island nr oz great money family could stay free and u just looked after the island, some jammy student nabbed it, was in the paper im sure.

    Atm my brother has a good job, working on the fracking in blackpool looking for shale gas, he drives a tracked bobcat and **** about with huge drills all day.

    If you can remove your front door and lay flat on some tressels that makes life easier, remove handles, letterbox,knocker etc or mask around them just ensure to remove masking while paint is still wet. Carefully, if allowed to dry could tear the gloss, try some leyland exterior or johnstones (same thing now) use a very good oilbased undercoat and allow the undercoat to dry fully before application of gloss, i like to give the undercoat a light sand with 120grade scratch before i apply my gloss, just gives that bit better finish imo, very light sand mind lol dont take the uc off.

    I stayed in cerphilly for a while at the connaught academy, not much to do but i wished id took my bike!!!
    Went out in newport lost a tooth and hurt my right hand so bad experiance there lol, theres som stunning parts, knott end, preesall,lytham,ansdell,garstang hambelton, but you have to drive or live there to appriciate it,its unfortunate a lot of undesirables seem to come here to reside, but its all in certain areas thank god, i only left hambelton as my wife worked as a nurse at the local hospital and the commute back at 4am was worrying me as shes not the best on country rds at night so we moved.

    No probz allways like to show the better places and theyre usually tucked away, if you like a cider try the draft one with a tree on the pump i cnt quite remember the name of it but its sweet and refreshing, bit too much like fizzy pop think its pear also, but if the wifes driving wehey!!! If u go to the bull ring up and reserve the corner booth nearest the bar, big comfy bench style cubby hole right next to the bar best seats by far!!!!!!

    Thats the one, sorry a bit tired at this time, its a lovely place, real food proper home made chips and a good atmosphere, i take the wife regular, its a tshirt jeans sorta place kids welcome, or if you want a bit of a posh meal for u and the mrs try the cartford inn, just won best kept seceret award the food there is a bit posher pub grub, gormet burgers etc but still reasonable seen as all the ingrediants come from a few miles round the pub, but the black bull menu changed slightly since the one online, reccomend the mix grill or the potted steak!!!!! And the portions are big no need for sides etc.

    If he can piss then y aint he a painter!!!!! Every ones misconception is the same, its funny really theres giving your front room a lick and theres getting it decorated, ie your cutting in the finish of the cuts in paper, parrern match, no flashing, runs misses brush/roller marks and the list goes on, if its so easy then why dont everyone do their own, it boils ma piss that, you learn tricks stripping, for instance i hate steamers, i use my own method and many times my lunch has bin bought for me by disgruntled sore loosers challenging me to bets on who can strip their room first (woodchip included sometimes) n my seceret dies with me, lol : D

    Hear hear above poster!!!!!! And as for the gloss thing, totally strip back and prep with a good oil based undercoat, dnt use “jelly” uc get the good stuff, i swear by leyland/johnstone used all others and allways go back to my fave, good price/coverage and ease of use, plus my merch loves me as i used to let him in free when i worked the doors in blackpool : ) so allways get some cheeky scratch n 2″ers thrown in me bag : ) sell the vouchers to some plumb and buy some eggy (eggshell) as acrylic gloss is pants and dosent give the “gloss” finish however iv used acrylic eggy and ob undercoat in my own home as tge wyf aint keen on gloss.

    Ahh no way that house is lovely now good little home that!!!! Blackpools strange as you can have million quid houses across the rd from the uks biggest housing estate!!!! You can go 15min drive to where i usecto live (hambleton) and its a picturesque village, pilling,warton,cartford,garstang all amazing places and some bargins to be had, best bit is you can still buy land round blackpool in the stix and build as regs are getting lax now to up the building game again.

Average 3bed semi thats nice to walk into and live is approx 120k in a nice respectable area, the fracking will bring in higher skilled jobs and money, but u go lytham and its crazy, millionaires row down near cypress point, i mean roy walker lives in the pool so it has to be right!!!! : )

    Iv bin taught by my dad who was taught by his dad so iv bin lucky to have bin learning from time served and qualified tradesmen my old man is 75 and still wipes the floor with me prepping and cutting in, most decs now dont even know what knotting is ffs, but i feel confident that the hours in me dads shed at 7years old sNding filling and painting the same piece of wood has taught me well, for instance i have bin on some jobs where the lads fill sand and get a wallop of 1 thick coat as they want done and out, a day rate works if you know what your doing as in coverage of the paint you use and drying times, some walls 2 coats some ceilings iv done white have needed 4-5 for the client to be happy, it just depends but average for a dec is 100-150 pd.
