Bob the Painter ! Can he Paint it ! Yes He can !

Was busy as usual.Getting a house all painted up ain't as easy as it looks...
Imagine having all THESE buckets of Paint into a 8 year old car.And it fits... A miracle.Thank God it fits.Of course I had to get rid of all the crap work material from the car boots first.These paints include 2 buckets of 18liter Martex for the white ceiling, one bucket of 20 liter Weatherbond for outside both front and back, 11 cans of this Satin glow paint for the inside walls and one more dunno what 9000 for the door frames and room doors.

Anyway from the 14th August to 17th August the house of occupied with Indons.Yes but I think they have permit cos they were recommended by a Dr (my customer) who happens to be a RELA member and who happens to have a real legal gun.So if anything bad do happen I know who to find to "shoot" the fella. Oh yeah the painter's name is Bob (Bobby's he's full name) so I call him Bob the Painter.And this painter is very Mobile Savy.He even knows how to SMS :)

This is how Bob looks like.From the back of course.I a bit shy to take his picture straight at his face.But even if I did ask to take a picture of him I guess he wouldn't mind.He's those really friendly Indon dude who really smiles at anything and everything.He's a bit dark for an Indon even my mum thinks he's an Indian.A pretty hardworking dude as he came in from 8.30am and works all the way til 12 for his lunch (don't think they take breakfast) then takes a bit of a nap til 1.30pm and works all the way to the evening until 6pm stops for dinner and then works all the way til the night at 11.30pm
Oh yeah this view is from the inside of the hall.Bob is painting the Gate with his Bright Red Shirt but no worries there's a Huge Tear at the Ketiak there so it's an old shirt.Yup abit on the hardworking side of Indon.The thing about them is when they work they really work.No talking... REally no talking at all but they need nicotine of PallMall and GudangGaram to keep them going on and on and on and onnnnnn.

All i had to provide them is some small rollers/brush/thinner and some paint here and there.Oh yeah and then there's the RM40 of ladder made out of wood.I'll get those pictures for the next post.

Some tips when painting with Bob:-

1.Make sure you have enough paint (which also means the same colour same brand/same colour number)

2.Do Not buy too many paints (as you will have to Mandi with it if it's too much)

3.Always ensure you know where to get paints from your nearest hardware shops...Makes sure you Do Know other alternative Hardware stores if your regular doesn't have the colour you need (I had to drive up and down 3 different stores to get a correct colour).You will also need some tools like scraper/thinner to get rid of the paints on the floor.

4.Have lotsa Old Newspapers of if you could get hold of Larger Card boards it would help Bob to paint without having raindrops of paint on the floor.Why Card boards are better?? Cos it isn't as fragile as paper even if you turn on the fan and it's portable for him to move it round.

Okay talking too much already as usual.Hope you guys have a great week ! Thanks Bob ! He did a good job.Come over to have a look when the house is Done !
