| A PAINT PAIL ....Teaching for Housepainting ..with a Spiritual section | ||||||||
| Introduction
There's to the body of the work two major parts, each covering house
painting. Everyone can read both. The first is a lighter
version of housepainting. Some will find therein tips, teaching, and info
sufficient to paint. It is, also the first course for the second.
The second part is both a more in depth coverage and a greater aid to you
needing more teaching attentions. You can say that it is has two levels to
it. Both have sections pertaining to a phase of housepainting, like
getting the piece ready for paint "'preperation'"; --the preperation
phase has parts,like washing, repairing and priming. Your finished
work will be composed of these parts performed to make each piece of the
paint-work. Skilled, craftsmanship, artistic, are all adjective
sorts of your affectionately named "'paint-job'". Oh,.yes(!)....and
so is "work" an adjectevial sort..properly applied after one "works"..
verb of an on-going sort!! I tried to write
for you in an effective "Foxfire"* teaching style, with some country to
it. Also, I used grammer and other sophistications to get the job
done. You will have to decide what's learnable and what's not.
A learning key is to 'see for oneself', as you gain thereby in
understanding, growth, and maturity. This is your heritage by Grace. -Take
it!
I did want for "you-all' to have
something--housepainting. I also wanted for you to be able to be
with your Deity, both personally in a fulfilling way as well as in
ableness and skilled activity. I learned from Them first-hand, and now I'm
teaching you. I first began painting in 1969, and have worked on and off at it since then. I can do artistic, showpiece, and historical work. I still learn. As an aid, you might view my painter's service site. It could help you learn here as you may find me honest after viewing it. It is at http://geocities.com/jerry_szyka/index.html. I first began painting in 1969. I have done it independently on and off over the years. I can now do historical, showpiece, and arttistic housepainting now. I am still learning and growing. I have done gratis' work while painting. I make these statements so you may think that I might know something to teach you. It is a teaching technique, and it's true...not just part of a coercive bragging. ----Purposes Of Housepainting---- I want to refer to several of the purposes that there are to housepainting. First of all, there's the protection it give to your home (or other intended painting spot). Generally speaking bare wood starts to decay when the air, water and sun get to it. You can think of decay in it's aspect of returning materials to their reuse state, while it perhaps aids other things en route. Nice, huh! 'Bareish' wood is in place for kindeling (that starts fires..stove, fire-place, campsite fires. because bare wood dries and then it burn fast and starts easy. Thus you get warm and get cookin' quickly. Also, it takes less paper and small, twig stuff to get starter wood going. Bare is good in Ma' Nature's mulch and in a man's mulch pile(that's decomposed nature-stuff; leaves, wood, branches, old or left-over 'veggies' and the like being readied for fertilizing gardens, plants, trees and one's own food one is growing and so on, like maybe the cotton row for clothes blankets sheets) It is not good turning your walls, trim-work and doors into rotting, weak, ugly, and unrepairable pieces. 10 points for Ma' Nature but zilch for the kiddo! Actually score analogies are out of place here. Simply, we just need to know our responsibility in the protection of our places.and hou to do it, with quality as our scale. Doesn't matter how long it takes you. Just do your best. These things satisfy everything. So! A good coat of paint and you are all maintained,(and are 'in the flow'.. and a harmony, too. See that? It's there, we just gotta' get into it..our place is reserved!) Now, once you have your place painted you have an easy surface to clean. Thus, good looks, and good health. Now on paint you can use your disenfectants, too. Bleach, (disposable rubber gloves, ventilation and diluting are needed by everyone..it burns skin and hurts eyes and lungs if it's too strong. as well as disolving rubber.)kills 99.99% of bacteria, whitens, brightens, and is super-inexpensive. It is a 'best friend'. Third, there's beauty. Good colors, right choices, good combinations and you have an attractive place! That"s the norm for the experience and dignity for a person. Right? Right! ...and don't let the landlord or person moving out tell you differently. You'll be able to get them to come down on their price. So know your values here and stick to your guns. There's tons of other places, and if the property holder wants to play 'you-over-the-barrel' just get on your walking shoes. Might be scary abit at first, but we all have to take courage. You'll be glad you did if needed. Really, you have to. Your character and lifes living needed by it are at stake here. (I have gone through these things, as have a lot of people.) Now, when you go to pass this spot on to another, wouldn't it be good to give them what they ought to have? This is our norm. Let's hit it! "'Stewardship'" is from a family of old fashioned, archaic words, but is given to us exempt from that category and effect on us by Grace due to it's meaning. Ok, so that means that we get to have it as a word we use. Here's why. It means being entrusted by God or the Gods with something you are 'like' working with them on. 'Like His or Her having something there for someone when they get there..like a nicely painted place. Not that that's the main motive to paint....but another one. And a nice paint job doesn't entail necessarily being that places' paint-job steward, to do a first rate job. You gotta' be good to yourself. Stewarding isn't always to the fore-front of things. But you may want to think about it. Oh, does any one see any oneness to the universe in regards to stewardship in both the ways we just talked about..active, and 'await? It's there! THE MAIN TEACHING SECTION Painting is by a God given skill. It is something you learn. It involves your hand in His hand literally. (and maybe yours in His as well. It's a growth and development high-point, or advancement. You are 'Infused in the infusing'. He in you and you in Him arm-wise, mutually respecting each others free will while doing the painting.) Ok, so the touch to haave a sufficiently thisck coat of paint while keeping a sane pace is needed to paint. It is given by Grace. When you have it, you'll know it. It can be 'gotten down' in steps. What you want is a 'pretty good' coat of paint thickness-wise. Medium thiskness is what it is. That much paint is put on the wall by a)filling your brush, usually a 2" to 3" wide one (4" for the outside), about half way up the bristles, b) not "wringing", but light to moderatrly, pushing the paint off the front, back and a little from the sides, maybe, on the inside of the top edge of your bucket or paint container. Then, with an eye to the medium coat, put the paint on the wall. Spread what you have on. A few times going over it and you can, maybe with practice, get a nice coat on the wall. The stroke count is about three/ brush full. One way, back, then again the first way. It can vary. (It will later with some skill, and some practice and some quickness. After you go a few feet painting check back over your work to see if there's any drips or sagging. 'Pick-up' the drips, smooth the sagging. You gotta' let time go before you check for it to happen--it takes time to if it is going to. Ten feet and you should check; maybe less. Painting can sound like its real indefinate, but you'll get it. It is all there, and God is there for you. That's His /Their job, after all! You'll learn it. Just do your best. Ok, so now son't try to spread your paint for economies sake...and don't thin beyound 'loosening the bucket. Spread, thinned paint or 'thin' paint on something won't last the duration and all that while it will look bad. It will also weaken from cleaning. So take the "Don'ts" above for discipline, ok. It works out for you. There is even less leeway with the current 15-20 year duration paint now than with the former 5 year stuff. Some of it just isn't covering well. Well get to more on this later, and what to do about extremes like this. -----Materials----- Ok. The next thing is about the materials that go into your job. The most basic material is 'primer' paint. |
