i was referring to paint.....and the need to change colors......

 

[chillywilly2]

The copper colour looked nice, but with the price of copper, there is no fucking way its really copper

well is till don't have my wall

computer games seem to trump walls and plumbing

Lighting schmiting. The important part is the copper ductwork. You do not see that everyday.

Copper is for WIRE, already!

Thank goodness! Who can afford the time & effort to CLEAN that stuff? Even factory-applied "clearcoat" doesn't prevent longterm discolouration... what is beautiful in the short-term, Pedro, eh?

Standing-seam copper roofing, however - is awesome. No need to "seal" it, the green patina is its own protection after a couple of years. Most of our older public buildings, here in the "National Capita Region" have copper roofing - even in OUR "variable" climate.

Everyone burns out on a project. But if there is only one wall left to do. get bagel off his ass, and get him to framing

Bring plenty of OT $s. My hookers may be cheap, but they charge you for it.

One of the great things about rain days, gives you a chance to spend the OT $'s

A month?

hel I could have the whole thing painted prepped, and done in one month with probably 2 weeks to spare, if I did EVERYTHING, myself with no help.

hell framing a wall should only take about half an hour. And that's if you suck big time.

Tell him that

It took me 3 weeks. THREE weeks. Doing mine a couple of years ago. And thats tearing everything down to bare bones. Re plumb it. INstalling new tub and toilet and sink, all the dry wall. All the framing, all the paint all the finishing work, all new electrical.
BY MYSELF, in three weeks.

Bagel is lacking big time there

Give the man a damn nail gun, and a measuring tape, and get him to work

That's during working normal hours at my job.
