podcast podcasting into the silence with a Nostr hosted #podcast about #painting and decorating. I'm sure Youtube would have generated some interest by now but for now it's OK getting a body of work established on Nostr. Even managed to self host the RSS feed. #self-sovereign Housepainter May 30, 2025, 6:18 PM
podcast I'm managing to keep Up a Nostr hosted #podcast on painting and decorating! It's showing Up on Fountain even. Episode 4.

painting If you have any painting tips add them to the list here on Nostr. The painting and decorating gurús all hang out on Youtube, fb and Twitter etc. And they sure have no idea what Nostr is. A lot of the legacy OGs especially in UK and US probably know… Housepainter May 26, 2025, 12:54 PM

painting 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… Housepainter May 10, 2025, 7:23 PM
podcast #podcast Sharing a few anecdotes and lessons growing up and #painting and #decorating in the 70's and 80's. Start 'em young, on to technical college and London City and Guilds, Interior Design, and how I came to paint some metal doors in the sub-Sahara Housepainter May 5, 2025, 5:40 PM
painting Not a bad hearth. But whoever did the #painting didn't quite pull off the old with the new. The surround looks like bad plasterwork rather than a finish in sympathy with old stonework. The never ending journey is trying to understand why we do things… Housepainter Apr 19, 2025, 7:24 AM

asknostr #asknostr 100sats to the first one to spot why the red roller sleeve is better designed for #painting walls than the rest. It's called the Red Feather part of the custom #Wooster Sherlock rolling system. It is suede-flock so holds loads of paint and lays it off Housepainter Mar 27, 2025, 3:45 PM
painting This super simple hand sander revolutionised the #painting industry. Not just because it works so well, but because it is the Trojan Horse to demonstrate to skeptical tradesmen and -women how good #Abranet abrasives are with a dust extraction system. A 20€ sander attached to a bog standard vacuum cleaner… Housepainter Mar 22, 2025, 6:09 PM
painting The answer to the last question was "tack rag". A muslin type cloth impregnated with slow drying oil that attracts the finest surface dust prior to #painting. Next question #asknostr What is the material next to the tack rag? #askahousepainter… Housepainter Mar 21, 2025, 12:14 PM

painting This is the key to #painting straight lines, continuous undulating lines and of course the obvious, filling gaps in trim. With this set up you can make a $1 masking tape outperform a $7 roll when painting a neat line where two colours meet.… Housepainter Mar 7, 2025, 4:00 PM
