Painting a Brightly Lit Ceiling

Part 1

Its been quite a week, we sprayed out a 4200 sqft house in 5 days with 3 coats. Everything went smooth except for the 30ft x 30ft ceiling that was on a 30 degree angle , the high point was about 15ft in the air and the low was about 10ft. The focul point of the room was 30ft of windows going all the way to the top of the ceiling over looking the south side of the property. This was a major lighting issue, the drywallers put a Level 5 drywall finish on the ceiling . We applied 1 coat of hi hide drywaller sealer and 2 coats of flat finish. We removed the plastic from the windows after we completed spraying and back rolling.  We stood back and every single roller mark showed up, we also noticed that the Flat paint we were using was not so Flat.  The question is , what do we do?  For more information on North Vancouver House Painting Companies and for the second half of this story please visit my website.

Painting in the Spring

    Ahh,  Spring is finally here. 

   Knowing that just around the corner is exterior painting season, the best time of the year in Vancouver, well, for me anyway . Not that there is anything wrong with interior painting in the winter, infact , I love that just as much, but there is just something about being outside that im sure some of you can relate with.  As you can tell ,  I love my job,  I  always have , and hopefully I always will. 

      I sometimes wonder what made me choose this trade, its not like I didnt have any other options, I could have been a plumber,a carpenter or maybe even a cook. Judging by my grades and attention span in school , it seemed like I was destined to work with my hands in some way, shape or form.  Im happy I did choose this trade, we might not get as much respect as maybe an electrician, or a finish carpenter, but we do get the honor of being the last trade on the job to make things look perfect, we fix everyone elses  mistakes and clean up everyones messes and take all the glory at the end.  What could be better?
