What a difference! I made an early start so I could resume painting the living room while it was still cool. I opened the door and walked in at around 9.00 am and by 11.00 am I was all ready to leave with the paint machine washed and cleaned out and everything else tidied and cleared away just as I wanted. This time the machine had operated exactly as it was supposed to – comme il faut.<\/p>\n

Compared to previously this was a completely different experience – no spilled paint all over the floor to be walked everywhere and no more wrestling with a blocked jet. This time if the jet began to stutter a bit or spray less or in a more restricted pattern it was a simple matter to just swivel it through 180 degrees in its mount, give it a momentary burst into the paint can, swivel it back and continue spraying. The old jet supplied with the machine would not do that, although it was supposed to, so was rubbish.<\/p>\n

Here’s the room after I’d finished spraying.<\/p>\n

And because everything wasn’t in such a mess and plastered in wet paint it was so easy to clean everything afterwards. Except myself, to a degree. I’d got everything ready and tested the machine just in my boxers with my cover-all protective suit ready on one side to put on. The spray worked so well that I decided not to take the risk of stopping but just put on my respirator and carried on.<\/p>\n

As a result I received a goodly covering of paint spray dust all over me. It all came off when I eventually had a shower after cleaning everything else beforehand, so it was a small price to pay. I am now so much more encouraged and just hope that spraying the walls in colour, which is the next job, goes the same way as today. If so I’ll then be well on the way to being able to move in, with our without a permanent electrical connection \ud83d\ude10 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
