okay Mike i guess we'll be talking about painting recently any of kind of recent painting you've done uh yourself have you done any recently
well we um remodeled a bathroom
uh-huh
and which required uh completely repainting the bathroom
and the other project we've done around here is uh we've remodeled all our all our closets
wow wow that's that's quite a chore
which required quite a bit of painting
yes i imagine it did did you have that done professionally or did you do that yourself
no we did it ourselves did it myself
you enjoy that
yeah
oh that's that's fun we just recently uh had our boys' room our two oldest boys share a room and
they're uh the paint has uh kind of faded and deteriorated and so we decided to paint their room and put up wallpaper and border and so forth
and uh looks quite good we were quite pleased with the result
is this a project you did yourself
yes it's a project uh that i did yes and and uh
what what what brought about the fading of the paint
just sun exposure
well
i don't think it's sun exposure but um
boys will be boys and there there were crayon marks on there and we had to to scrub the crayon marks off of course try and get it clean
oh okay yeah
latex paint latex
and so pardon me yes it was it was latex paint and that's uh what we put back on there was a latex paint
um-hum
plus uh they had bunk beds and the boy one of the younger boys when he was younger about three years old got a uh got a nice marker and got up on the ceiling and decided to draw pictures
on the ceiling
so yes on the ceiling and uh you scrub and you scrub but you can't it all off
yeah
no that's true
and so that's one of the reasons why we painted and uh
did you go what what kind of paint do you use on the ceiling
we used a flat latex paint and in the bedroom as i understand that's uh one of the better type of paints to have because it's not so reflective and and glossy colored
okay
um-hum
and it uh turned out real real well
seems like um i've we've done some remodeling of some uh rental houses that we have
um-hum
and it appears as though that uh oh in the fifties or sixties when some of these houses were built
uh they used a lot of uh semigloss type enamel for ceiling paints
um-hum
and that was a little difficult to cover with today's paints it seemed like
we had a occasion uh where we had to do some sealing
uh-huh
of uh
the ceiling of the this type of paint before we could paint it
oh you had to prime it and and seal cover over it
yeah
right
huh
you had pretty good luck with one coat type paints you use a particular brand or anything
well i like to use this this Sears uh the ten year guarantee or the fifteen year guarantee yes
weather beater type stuff yeah
and the reason being is once i paint it i don't wanna have to go and do it another five or seven years later
understand
but uh and uh we're quite satisfied with that and and occasionally you can watch for it and get it on sale
and we do do that fact i was just reading an article you mentioned painting your bathroom
um-hum
i read an article recently that uh you have to be very careful on the kind of paint you put on the ceiling in your bathroom because it does tend to
to peel or come off because of the moisture high moisture content in your bathroom bathroom
yeah it's a lot like uh wall paper
and uh did you have any problems with that or
that's true
well the particular bathroom that we did is a half bath so we didn't have a problem with that
oh good
um
i have had i've uh have never experienced that type of a problem
uh-huh
uh with a latex paint
oh good neither neither have i
so you shouldn't have a you shouldn't have a problem with it
oh good
they're they're pretty well refined today a lot of the paints and Sears is one of the better ones
uh-huh
yeah you
i've used uh many a gallon of them myself
do you uh have you ever used an oil base paint
uh used oil base paints for trim
um-hum
you know like around doors and and on doors things like that
why why do you use that i'm i'm kind of learning at this new at this but
uh primarily because it seems it seems to be a little more
um what do i wanna say
it adheres better or lasts longer
well not so much that it seems to hold up a little bit better towards the nicks and dings
oh okay
as opposed to uh
a latex type paint
uh-huh
and uh it just you know it it gives you a a variance even though it's the same color
right well that's good that's good
so it's worked out pretty well for us
um have you ever done any painting outside
uh quite a bit painted a couple of houses uh recently this summer we painted a uh out building which is a shed that we have on the property
