Spent the entire day painting the exterior. Lace textured = stucco, very porous. We are using elastimeric paint, a hard yet = flexible water sealing paint designed specifically for this purpose. = The cost: $100 per 5 gallon bucket times 6 buckets!! They say it = reliably lasts 20 years so I guess it's worth it. I have a neighbor who is a retired professional painter. He loans me = his big pro machine with a gas powered engine and a half mile of hose. = I get one side done, (10' wall times 62.5 feet), and then the machine = dies. Hell trying to clean it! With it not working I had to force 120 = PSI compressed air through the hose to force out all the remaining = paint, (and return it to the bucket, every drop is gold at that price). = Lucky thing the threaded fittings on the compressor happened to be the = same as the sprayer hose. Plan "B", the Home Depot rental center. Picked up another professional = sprayer, very nice. With amazing speed we whizzed around the building. = The job looks fabulous but we ran out of paint at the very end, probably = 400 Sq. Ft to go. Had to clean up the whole machine just to dirty it up = again tomorrow for 15 minutes of spraying! Oh well, it looks great and = it's a fun machine to use. We have probably 1 hour of labor remaining to complete the fiberglass = insulation. I have had it with the itching! Monday we have an = inspection on that after which we can proceed with drywall. then we get = another adventure with mud and taping, sanding, texturing, and then = painting. One day... yes one day there will actually be pianos in this building!! Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
