Hang on weems. Are you including faux and mural guys in this or are you just talking exterior work?

SJ....that still requires more thought than an average painter does in a day.
Plus...your paper-guy is an entrepeneur.......the painters are just drugged-up trained monkey laborers on Percocets. WAKE UP! |

So? The money the paper guy makes he buys beer with and sleeps under a broken down cardboard box. The druggie painters at least have an air mattress to sleep
on.

SJ....I admit I don't know what kind of "newspaper salesman" you're talking about.
I've never seen bums running around selling papers to people driving in the morning.....but I salute those bums that do. They still seem to have more brains than painters. |

That's a shame Weems. They are all over the place here.

Never see one.
I wish the bums in my city were that enterprising. Again....that bum still sounds more intelligent than every drunken, pill-popping house painter that ever existed. |

How about the painters who also do light drywall repair?

Drywall repair is a skill.
Most drunken, pill-popping, painter monkeys don't do that kind of "skilled work"....... ....there's a few that do.....but only when they aren't drunk....like on thier Irish mother's birthday's and stuff. |

My paintwork is good because I learned a lot from living at the place with the painter working there for years. I'd go check out what he was doing
(there was always different restoration projects going on in an historic mansion) all the time and talked to him about lots of painting things because his work
was so impressive. It was years of really looking closely and talking about what he was doing.

Is there any LOWLIER profession than house painting? Annoying TV sidekick? (Poor Ed McMahon) Those fuckers that wash your car windows at street corners? Shoe salesman? (Poor Al Bundy) Telemarketer? Full-time OT poster? |

How about Real Estate Brokers. Do they really earn their pay?

I have cathedral ceilings in my livingroom and diningroom, I need to have them painted. I don't want drunken painters stealing all my booze and food.
I don't know who to get to paint them now, I'm scared. |

I don't know about skill, but they sure charge you. We needed our house painted (exterior) and all the quotes we got were for $6000 - $7000.00. My
husband was like, forget that. He spend about $700.00 on supplies, including a paint sprayer and did it himself. Plus he figures we got a better job, cause
he sprayed it on and brushed it in to get all the small crevices.
It was scary though. Our house is really high up cause of the way it's situated on our land. |

I knew a guy who did painting, mostly interiors. One day a guy called about an ad that he placed in the paper for an experienced painter. The guy admitted that
he didn't have any experience, so my friend asked him why he thought he'd hire him. The guy said "because I'm 6 foot 11 inches tall". My
friend hired him before he ever met him in person.
