WELL THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

I'll so just about anything, but painting is not on the top of list of favorites.

You've probably seen that I am working on a bit of a remodel near where we live. If so, then you'll know that I already put in the new floor... and now I'm painting the walls. Sure, many people would paint the walls before putting in the floor, but I have my reasons. Simply put, I don't like painting. Of all the jobs in construction or remodeling, it is one of my least favorite tasks.

WHAT'S THIS?

Ah, but now I found a tool that makes a world of difference. A neighbor of mine, the father of Hive account@jaguarlife, is a very helpful guy. Since he is also working on remodeling some things in the same house (primarily the bathroom) he knew what I was up to, and that I have saved painting for last, since I detest it. He had told me to let him know when I was ready to paint, because he had a tool he wanted me to try.

He mentioned having a paint roller that would suck up paint into the handle. The picture I got in my mind fell short of the actual tool. It kind of resembles one of those yard-long, pump action squirt guns that the disrespectful little punks always seem to have whenever we go to a public pool. Rather than launching water twenty to thirty feet, this one feeds paint to the roller. Once I realized what was going on, I actually got a bit excited.

This tool certainly saves time and makes a lot less of a mess. I only had to refill the handles a handful of times. I also liked the fact that he had a few different sizes, including a big one to cover a lot of area and a smaller one for those hard to reach places.

This allowed me to get a lot more done tonight than I had originally planned. I still may have to do some touch up in the near future, but my portion of this remodel may be nearing an end!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE THIS MAKES!

You may have heard me say it before, but I've wasted a lot of time this life by not having the right tool for the job. Thankfully I am now aware of one more useful tool that I may need to use again. Next time, I'll even know ahead of time and have some experience too!

Not only did this tool make the job go much easier than I had expected, I actually had some fun doing it, hence finishing at almost 2 am in the morning. I think that when we begin to build our house, we will try to mill a lot of our wood for the interior of our house, so maybe we won't need to be painting. I don't really like drywall, texture spray, and paint myself, but everyone is free to their own preferences.
