GENERAL DISCUSSION TO INCLUDE OFF TOPIC / House Paint is HOW MUCH!
« Last post by stokester on April 19, 2024, 06:58:44 PM »
I'm in the middle of a refresh of my library, music, front room.  The wallpaper under the chair rail moulding has been removed, the walls holes filled and sanded and all cleaned with the ammonia/vinegar/baking soda solution by my wife.

We have generally used the local Sherwin-Williams store near my house for most paint and have an "account" with them.  When my wife purchased the near-best wall paint it was $70/gal :c029:  And that was after our discount.

Although I'm sure there are less expensive paints available we have always been satisfied with the SW product.

Like many things these days that you don't purchase regularly, prices have increased substantially.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I don't often see any of the Pileated around my house but do hear their distinctive "thunk" as they peck on the dead trees in the neighborhood.  The Red Bellied, Downy, Hairy and Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers keep me entertained.

Now I'm watching the Bluebirds raise their three little ones in the house by the garden.

This past week one or more Pileated Woodpeckers have been dinning at the feeder. What a wonderful lovely bird..

2 things here, dont try beiting a raial tire, to get it on the bead, just wont work, especially with steel belted tires.  No. 2, most modern starting fluid is tame, may catch the tire aflame, but wont seat the bead, read the can ingredients.  Good luck.

The place i originally thought of has become too full and expensive now.


Seems to be a common these days.

We seem to be averaging 2"+ of rain a week since early March. I can barely mow grass let alone think about working dirt. I did manage to get potatoes planted in the garden.
