I appreciate you sharing your thoughts

I love the Olympics there the best thing on tv so be quite cause I give af about the Olympics

@@Peanut_butter_is_a_god I agree. They are fun to watch

thank you

lol. are you saying mine isn't good enough???

@prosponderingpaint not saying yours is not but it's close.

@@StuffMeDaddy89 I will take any win I can!

Very true. Sad to hear of stories like this

Bad dings happen to good people

Lol. Watch out for toenail shrapnel.

Hey Jay, it was nice meeting you too! Thanks so much for watching our video

I completely agree. Chris is the best! Thanks for the comment

Thats a good tool. Especially one that you can quickly change the blade

Huh. you know, I never connected those 2 things. that is a very interesting take. it makes me wonder???

I appreciate your comment. I can not speak for the UA-cam algorithm, but I'm glad you are here. I agree that this is a human issue. However, being in the painting trade for almost 25 years, that is our area of expertise. For that reason alone, this conversation is directed in that direction. No doubt you could say the same thing about your colleagues. We just want to shine a light on a big problem, and give others a chance to talk about it Thank you for adding to the conversation

you are correct. due to the nature of the job, you are putting a piece of yourself in each project. that makes people more invested, hence more emotional I can't say if business owners are more objective or not (I would hope that is the case) however, if someone is asking for help, you can do one of 2 things 1. ignore it. which is fine. you don't have to help everyone 2. try to help. there are many good people out there Sadly, MANY take a 3rd option of ridiculing people who ask. as was mentioned in the video, we feel it's because there are no consequences on social media. so people who would be very nice in real life, turn into a bully when "no one is looking" our goal was to shine a light on it and hopefully have a nice conversation (like we are here) I'm glad you don't see it much. I appreciate your thoughts and am glad you shared them

Thats a good sprayer

I appreciate you saying that. The thumbnail seems like it should be printed and hung on a wall

thank you very much

That is a good one. I will put it in the next video. Thank you

Agreed. There is a learning curve. And sometimes there is a need to make sure you are covered by adding some money. Not running a charity

Awwww, thanks

@@prosponderingpaint ok Simpson yes. I saw looney toons and Peanuts. How about Animaniacs?? There has got to be a clip about them painting :)

@@flipxmen You need to think bigger, How about Pinky and the Brain!! ya know it's right there. "are you pondering what I'm pondering?" LOL THERE's you new intro 🤣

@@TAZw71 I'm sure we can look into that. As I'm sure you can tell we like the simpsons. Should also throw in some Futurama

​@flipxmen yes we should see how many we can get in there

For sure

Lol. I stand duly and comically corrected. You are right. We appreciate it when people subscribe. Hopefully, we have earned it from you. But you are 100% correct, We need to get better at that. Thanks for the kind input

I appreciate your comment and observations. As I'm sure you saw this, we were just talking about materials. I would say most of the time (speaking in generalities) the 1st couple of jobs are friends/family or friends of friends/family. So something like a church bulletin is probably very accurate for a 1st job. I will also say (speaking for myself) when I started, I borrowed whatever I could (ladder, bedsheets for dropcloths, later I learned that you can't borrow bedsheets for dropcloths because no one wants them back when they are full of paint ;-) ) It is safe to say that most people have a mode of transportation. I personally ran my painting business out of a 1993 Saturn SL2 for my 1st couple of years when I started out as a 17 year old. I did this because that was the only thing I had. When I got bigger jobs, I would borrow a truck from friends or rent a truck from Menards It is interesting that you say Sherwin-Williams seems to not care for you when you are starting out. I grew up in Manitowoc WI (I would be interested in knowing where you are located) they didn't give me the time of day. Hallman Lindsay took me in and treated me very well. Within 2 years, I was in that locations top 10 contractors. I didn't get interesting to Sherwin-Williams until I was working on a subdivision for a builder (in Green Bay) and a Sherwin-Williams rep just happened to stop by and wondered who had all the work in that area. That was the 1st time that they had ever acknowledged my existence. So I know exactly how you feel on that front. I don't think it's because you are a woman. It is something cultural within their organization. It sounds like you have a good spot with Hallman. They are a good company. We have a couple of videos coming out. One I would really like your thoughts on it will be coming out in a week or 2. The title will be " the mental illness that most painters develop" (name might change slightly) we talk about the culture of the industry and how it needs to change. I would love to hear your thoughts on that as well I hope you hang in there. You are obviously a person who cares, and I'm confident you will succeed. Please stay in touch and let me know if we can help, or if you have ideas for other videos

@@prosponderingpaint Yes, you were talking about materials, but what stopped me scrolling was your title about "The SECRET to Starting a Painting Business for $100" I understand what you guys were doing, and like that you are helping others breaking into the painting business. Keep up the good work and I will look for the video you are talking about.

@TAZw71 Thanks for the kind words. I think a lot of people are afraid of failure. So they don't start. Our goal is to take some of the mystery out of the trade. We want to encourage as many as possible to join. It is a great profession. Tomorrow, we will have a video discussing if it is smart to ask random people on social media how to bid. It would be nice to get your take on it Have a great evening. Go Pack Go. (Obviously for next year)

I hear you there. It isn't always as easy as it looks

Ha. I'm glad you enjoyed it

That's a great list. That would certainly get the job done. I always like to see what other people would do given a certain budget. Everyone has a little different take on things, and I love it. We really appreciate your support

Mike, we think a lot alike (GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!!) you are correct about the need to have honed your skills. You will be interested in a discussion that will be posted late next week or early the following week. In it we discuss how you know you are ready to start a business for yourself. We cover the point you mentioned and others. I look forward to getting your thoughts on that! Really appreciate you reaching out

Hey. Thanks for the comment and kind words. I want you to know that means a lot

Thanks for the comment. No doubt, certain products and applications might call for a skilled painter to decide what the best starting temperature is for the project. Water based polys sometimes tend to "seize" when cooler. There is definitely a sweet spot for those

It does. But would be bad if you can't stand the your own "brand"

That is exactly right

YES!!

ha, same here

it was such a fun cartoon

thank you

No problem 👍

Simple videos are usually the best

I'm glad you enjoyed it

Sadly, this is how it goes

appreciate it
