Crossy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 .... that any activities involving my darling wife and a paint brush end up with ME being the one being covered in paint? Case in point, today's activity was painting some wooden fence panels. These are rubber-wood lattice panels about 80cm long by 30 high, they're like the ones HomePro sell for 350 Baht a pop and are intended to prevent our geese from wandering into the downstairs area of the house. We were priming said panels with thinned gloss (brown in colour) in readiness for a final brown coat. All was going well until a moments distraction and my lovely caught her loaded brush on the edge of the paint pot resulting in a spay of brown droplets, 99.99% of which hit yours truly. I now appear to have the dreaded brown-spot disease, of course I have to work tomorrow and the spots are unlikely to have faded by then. Such is life and I love the little lady, no real harm done Anyone else have a wife who paints them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morakot Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sounds familiar... just the other day my dearest told me she is going to paint a small area in one of the rooms. After she asked me how to open the tin of paint, I felt a bit reluctant about her endeavour. But I said that I might be able to help with the painting too...

sirineou Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 are you sure she did not do it on purpose and acted all innocent? did you say anything to annoy her before a alleged accident? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negita43 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Well Crossy - you have given me so much good advice I'd like to be able to help. But first a few more facts are needed: What exactly was that distraction?????. The answer to that question may well lead to a better apportionment of blame. Were you wearing the proper protective clothing? (latex trousers, jacket and full face mask??? In my experience never get near a lady with a loaded paint brush - work at opposite ends of the job and make sure she stops work 1 metre before you meet. Well that's all for now but maybe I'll have more to contribute later PS - I don't know how old you are but haven't you ever seen the 60's ?? film blow up???? enough said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
