      southsidesman this is an investigation done by the local tv station. It’s not going to be in the newspaper because this is an ABC affiliated station, they do TV NEWS ONLY. A story like this would need visual content too to have viewers better understand. Tune into one of your local tv stations and watch a full local broadcast to see what’s going on. Every news station has its own segments/stories: world issues, national issues, weather, investigations, local news, and sports. If you want full coverage of world issues and politics watch the national news!

    • @Hermit_The_Toad
      @Hermit_The_Toad 6 років тому +11

      Its $20 dollars a square yard for decent carpet including padding. Easy non-expensive fix. It's harder to find a matching carpet if anything, but that's about it. The trim is most likely oil based paint, so that can be wiped off easily. That whole wall does need to be color matched and repainted but not too expensive too just for 1 gallon. Labor would take 2-3 hours max. I would pay for the materials and do labor for free if an accident like that happened. It would set a day behind schedule but no harm no foul, mistakes happen

    • @Hermit_The_Toad

    I've seen worse, I was working with another guy, painting a house (touchups). At the end of the job, he yelled at me to help him, he said that he spilled a 5 gallon bucket of paint down the stairwell. I thought he was just joking, but when I put my tools down after cleaning up, I realized that he wasn't. We spent another 5 hours at the home cleaning up the paint. Thank God that we had a carpet butler, (a carpet cleaning machine). The homeowner was there during the whole disaster, and the crazy thing was, is that we were actually joking about calling the boss, and telling him that we spilled a bunch of paint on the customers carpet as a prank. I guess you could say that we jinxed ourselves lol! It's funny now that it's in the past, but that was probably the worst day for me working with that man, (Walt, an "experienced professional painter").
    Just wanted to share this experience with you guys lol! Stay blessed, and enjoy yourselves!

      Year's ago my customers dogs walked in unexpectedly right over freshly painted cabinet door fronts and then traipsed down into their houses living room with white wool carpets and it was oil based enamel paint, so I immediately started using acetone and rags on the carpet after brushing out the footprints that were all over the doors , it took me hours. They told me that I had the house for the weekend and they wouldn't be back home until Monday morning, but they came back home Saturday morning, what a fiasco, but I cleaned up so well that it looked like it never happened and they were happy and paid me for the extra hours and materials and referred me to their neighbors and called me back year's later for more work. Just take care of your messes and you'll get happy customers.

The only open can is in your hand and filled to half brush bristle height of a 1 gallon can with a clip on carabiner attached to the wire handle, place can in psalm and put thumb through carabiner. keep your psalm facing up. Foolproof. Designate a paint station (center of room) for refilling cut cans and roll trays. Any spill is contained at the tarped paint station. Never let sit on ladder, never on a ledge. I use a ladder hook only when I need three points of contact on the ladder. An open paint can unattended where you don't expect it is waiting to be knocked over.

    Well, I got a "pro" painter and he showed me pics of his past jobs. I hired him, gave him 1500 dollar deposit and he vanished on me. I went to the police station with all of the guys ID info and they blew me off. About 1 month later I seen him (painter) outside of the Wal-Mart. I had no choice but to lay hand on this man. I got arrested because of it. I asked for help to get my cash back and the police acted like it wasn't nothing. I paid a fine but it was a fine I was happy to pay for beating him down in front of his wife and kids. I let them know that he was a scumbag and stole from my family.

      Your story doesn't check out. You don't "pay a fine" for "beating someone down". Also, you handed him money, he didn't break in and steal it. That makes it a civil matter so take his ass to court.
      Now you have a criminal record and he has your money. He wins.

      Actually is does check out. I lived it so I should know. I was charged (we both were actually) with disorderly conduct and in Pennsylvania you either pay a fine from $25 and up to $1500 or up to 90 days in jail. In my case I paid a $600 fine and so did he. To me it's not about the money it's about not letting anyone fuck you over. As far as the money he stole, yes it is a civil matter which I later went and filed the proper paperwork and and the ruling was in my favor, now he owes me the money legally. So correction to your comment sir, I won.

Even when I hired a painter to do a stairwell that required being up on a high ladder, the quality of the work was not nearly as good as mine. If you can find a reliable contractor who does quality work, hang in to them. They are worth their weight in gold!

The 1 out of 10 who can actually hold a brush properly may be able to get the job done.. But even so, the quality of finish is not near that of a professional. Guys, higher a quality trusted and reviewed painting company or individual. The results are worth the money.

      Yep fully agree with my fellow painter and decorators below! Even homeowners that think they’ve done a good job have not a shed of an idea what a professional finish looks like !
      My older neighbour wanted to show me how good her paint job was and how she used all the best quality paints etc… she used a 22mm nap roller to “gloss” all her doors… she was convinced they looked marvellous when in fact they looked and felt like a rendered wall 😂 every wall had tiger stripes, the ceiling had misses all through it and this list goes on!
      Point being you cannot have a professional standard of painting if you don’t do it everyday that’s just not possible ! It takes years of perfecting a tradesmens skills and eye to be able to have that professional finish and to understand the process of what to use on what and what to do and when. You’ve clearly never had a professional painter work on your property or you just have a terrible eye for detail and think you know better than a real tradesmen 🤷‍♂️ I literally make money from you “I can do that” homeowners! With the constant influx of diy jobs we need to fix up year round ! 😂 we do a 4 year apprenticeship and go to trade school for a reason mate

      cheapest bid? Hmmm...and you know this how?
      That's the dumbest comment I've ever heard. You do realize that in any bid situation, most of the time there is a high, low, and maybe middle or the road price? Guys and companies that have been around for years and years beat out higher bids (they also do win jobs by being the high bidder).
      I've done work and been the low bid in a room full of very very experience top notch contractors. I've been in other bids with the same group and guess what I was the high bid, and one of those guys was the low bidder.
      So, blanket statements like that really should be thought out better.
      No one deserves hatred like you posted. Best highest paid contractor can drop a paint can, scratch something etc.
      I've been low bidder won, and had someone damage a persons lawn, (we told him right away) guess what we fixed it to the satisfaction of the customer, and yes it cost me margin, but you know what we did more work for the customer

And if something goes wrong you have his insurance company and you file a claim on your own. If the contractor doesn't give you a certificate of insurance don't do business with that person. Help yourself to protect yourself.

Now the time to use a computer is to look up the telephone number and see if they have the same last name or better yet come look at the work in person. Why do people spend o much time looking into large screen TV's and and surround sound then the person there using and letting into there home alone as they head out to work. A side note the State I'm licensed in wants 2 things a 50.00 check and liability ins number just like you do each year to register your car. Now the State 'm in the Attorney Generals office handles contractor licenses but guess wha are A in now in prison for breaking law she is to enforce so bottom line folks no one is going to watch your ass like you will.

    Me and some colleagues we where there inspecting the last details... a cable here, a lick of paint there, red carpet, etc.
    In the middle of all the normal fuzz just before an inauguration, everybody running around 8 pm in the evening. A painter on a scaffold making some final paint touches on the beams, precisely above the main entrance doors. Tip down an almost full can of 25 L paint. Glass sliding doors, mechanism, red carpet, walls, billboards, decorations, you name it.
    All covered and splattered with paint. Horror! Panic!
    Well next day inauguration and everything else went according to plan...BUT with a really strong smell of thinners. Somehow never forget that one. LOL :-)
