Protection: When working on interior projects especially, protecting the clients property is of upmost importance before paint work begins.  Clients are always happier when they feel their possessions are being well looked after. This factor is important when it comes to client satisfaction and whether the client will use you again for future painting work. 

No two jobs are the same, however the principels are. On residential properties, the flooring, whether this is carpet, tiles, wood etc should always be well protected with a double layer of dust sheet, whilst furniture should be covered with plastic sheeting. This ensures no paint flicks will have to be cleaned.  Prevention of this this is always better than cleaning afterwards.

For commercial office refurbishments often the building will have been stripped out leaving only the underlay and no furniture, meaning that protection is often not needed.

 This although is not an excuse to be sloppy! Often cordex on commercial projects is provided by the office fit-out company to protect the flooring if there is a need to.  Although, always be prepared with dust sheets if you find you need them. 

Office ‘freshen up’s’ take place at night where office equipment is being used throughout the day, while the office is being decorated overnight. It is very important that the office equipment is well protected to ensure that no equipment is damaged.  

Preparation: Good preparation is the key to achieving a good and long lasting finish. Providing a customer with a lasting job, will increase your credibility as a tradesmen often leading to you gaining more work though recommendation and any future painting work. 

All surfaces need to be rubbed down well and filled with the correct fillers.

Talk to your local supplier about which fillers to use on the right surfaces.  All filler must be rubbed down flat, leaving the surface smooth and flat. Providing a surface which is paintable.  

When preparation is done well, the painting is much easier to complete, allowing the painter to achieve clean lines and a sharp overall appearance. 

Priming the surface is also extremely important to provide a long lasting finish. All bare timber should be primed with the appropriate primer to ensure the top coat provides a solid appearance. 

Painting: After thorough preparation to all surfaces, painting is ready to start. Often the painting stage starts too early among inexperienced painters, providing an unprofessional finish which simply will not last. 

For large wall areas the surface will be painted with a roller ensuring a finish is flat and not an ‘orange peel’ effect is extremely undesirable! The key do doing this is to make sure there is not an excess of paint on the wall. The corners and edges will painted with a professional grade paint brush. Often a ‘Purdy’ brand.  This always ensures a flat finish enabling the painter to cut clean and sharp lines to the wall giving the job a sharp and professional finish.

By applying these principals whether you are working on a residential property, or a commercial office paint job, the finish will be to a superb standard.  This ensures clients will be happy and you will have a fantastic reputation in the industry.

With the gazillion times that sms text messaging has been our life saver against scenarios we do not want to be placed in and against having people angry at us, it is not unexpected that a list of all the lines and excuses we use would sprout out somewhere.

How many times have we been in awkward silence and company and pretended to be texting so that we would not carry the burden of having to start a conversation? It is the out of classroom counterpart of pretending to take down notes in hopes of escaping the eye of the teacher that is egging you on to recite. No one can blame anyone for doing this. It is less uncomfortable to stare at your mobile phone and re-read texts saved in your phone rather than stare in silence at the people with you. To check if someone is doing this to you, keep an eye if he or she is interchanging texting and reading a text that arrived.

This is often signaled by the phone vibrating or glowing. If he or she is just texting nonstop, he or she is probably looking for someone to text with or not really texting.

How many times have we needed to tell someone something but can’t so we just text it to them? The thing is, sms text messaging makes lying easier because the recipient cannot hear the hesitation in the voice nor see the fear in the face and the screen is too small, you do not have to tell a full story. Obviously, when you are with people excitedly planning another get-together, you cannot kill the joy and announce you cannot make time so you pretend to go with it. When you are away from the crowd is the time you take your opportunity. All it takes would be a simple, “I am sorry, I cannot make it. I suddenly fell sick”.

How many times have we hidden behind the fact that sms messaging is not entirely reliable? Sometimes, it is in the event that you forgot to invite or inform someone. The normal excuse would be to say with a face filled with bewilderment and confident, “Really, but I texted you. I wonder why you did not receive it.” The excuse that puts a little responsibility to yourself is to say “I am sorry. I sent the message to everyone in my phone book group. You did not notice that you weren’t there yet.” Sometimes, it is in the event that you did not know what to and how to reply. The common lines delivered would be to either say “Sorry, I left my phone unattended. I did not see your text till late” or “I swear I did not get a text from you”.   

Truly, technology has once again corrupted our morals and given us a new way to be evil to people around us. Then again, one would doubt that there are still people who would fall for these techniques and strategies. But then, sometimes they just might be the truth.
