My latest project.....Morgan Place Retirement Home. We are currently about a week away from finishing. Job has been going well, sufficiently under budget (Mexico here I come!!!), except for a recent surprise visit from WCB (Worksafe BC). I officially hate them right now. Did you know that ANY work being performed on a ladder above 1o feet, you are required to have fall protection apparatus? Neither did I. Apparently neither does the ENTIRE PAINTING TRADE! To add acceptable fall protection (scaffolding, boom lifts, safety lines/harness's), you would have to add $1500-$2000 to every standard home we paint. I spent 4 days with the entire crew doing nothing but ground work. Anyone who does high volume/commercial work will understand how important correct sequencing & system painting is and how it effects efficency (ie. profitability.....MY MONEY!) Venting done......I feel better now. here's some before shots.....

Ooh, I remember all that BS. Aren't we supposed to be wearing full protective goggles when spraying, and steel toed boots, too? Who comes up with these bright ideas...
I dutifully carried the MSDS book around in my truck for a while. Like needing to know the boiling point of spackle would ever be useful information.
PS, I'm the other painting blog. My name defaults to my dog blog, in case you're wondering who the heck this is.
