A carpenter, electrician, sheet rocker, concrete finisher, etc, has some training.....
... but is there ANYONE on this planet who can't do the labor of slapping paint on a wall?
Is there any LOWLIER profession than house painting?
:c ?

HOUSE PAINTERS: Is there a less SKILLED profession? |

You can essentially train a monkey to paint your house.....and I think these HOUSE-PAINTER retards get off on the fumes.

Oh....and I've never met a "house painter" that wasn't an addict of some kind or the other....
....wether it was alcoholic, coke head, etc etc etc The myth of "college house painter kids" is just that.....a myth. |

Yeah...they're all akies, but the ones around here make a shitload of money. Roofers are even lowlier, however. |

I've always heard that about house painters, too... from the carpet layers I used to work with in college.

OKAY OE....I'll give you that.
Bigger con-jobbers than roofers are hard to find. (Actually, there's a movie about these clowns. The Grifters? Cover your asphalt shingles with old motor oil and such.) But house painters actually think they have a SKILL.....but any trained monkey can do what they do fairly quickly. |

You have to know how to do carpet laying and there's special tools and tricks involved with a good carpet job..... ....but painters have few skills or tools beyond tarps, getting drunk, brushes, and slapping paint on poorly. grrrrrrr

All house painters are drunks. You'd have to be to do something that mindless all day.

HEY Buster! I just spent all day up a ladder painting my gable! I did an AWESOME job of it! True any hack crackhead can "paint", but a good painter
does have skills. (I'm not saying I'm that skilled... but for an amateur doing my own house, I'm good.) You should see my lines!
I used to know a pro full time painter - he worked as a full time permanent job on an estate I used to rent on, and he was skilled. His work was FLAWLESS and he did serious restoration projects on really old stuff which not just anybody could do. And he kept the work area immaculate. I asked about how he does it and he told me things - like how to get clean straight lines. |

I have GREAT painters named Gustavo and Al. They are a father and son team and not only do they do a GREAT job but they do it sober and their quote is always a
few hundred less than anyone else's AND their quote includes the paint! YAY ME!

Here's the thing: If you live in an historic district or some upscale neighborhood, just plan on being taken to the cleaners by painters. Plus...they'll drink all your beers and spit on your latticework and railings. |
