In the mid 80s I was #painting council houses, £30 to prepare, undercoat and gloss all outside Windows, on 2 storey houses, incl fascias, front and back, 3 doors. Crazy low rates even back then. Managed to complete 2 every 2 days.

BEST training ever for speeding Up my brush work. That paid dividends when working on more prestigious Jobs commanding high rates.. #silverlinings
