Hey kingbrown,
It may be outdated but prove it.
It’s to easy to say my opinion is out dated.
Prove it.
I dare you.
We do need to look after our planet, no arguments there, but filling our heads with nonsence does’nt make us more sofisticated.
Question it.Regards
FrankHi Marc,
Sounds great,
I subscribed to New Scientist magazine for a while and they did not acept a lot of things just because they were popular (big bang, evolution, firing of nuclear weopons on demand, global warming etc) but rather look at the scientific evidence available.
Thanks
Frank
Hey admin
Amen to that
Hey Spanky,
Great article,
Can you please tell me what evidence you have to conclusively prove global warming.
Did you knoew that the coal belt runs from Gippsland almost to Tassie?
What about Nuclear?
I personaly have not found any evidence to prove global warming, just a bunch of theories.Regards
FrankHi Guys,
Here’s a bit more,Did you know that the ozone layer depleates with ouit the sun and is formed again when the sun comes up.
The photo’s that you see of the ozone layer depleating are taken when the sun is going or has gone down.
Did you also know that the temp extremes of the ice poles are 35 degrees.
The only variation in global warming caused by the suposed ozone layer depleating that scientists can come up with since the 70’s is half a degree. Could that be the margin of error and we are all woried about nothing?
Regards
Frank The synicHi Guys,
Just thought I might add something,
Today I was painting a house in Brunswick and was overcome by the fumes.
I had the window open but it got to windy and I did’nt want dust to come in. I had a dust mask on but had my top off and the fumes got in through my skin.
This will take about a week or so to get over, nausia, head ache etc.
Silly me.
I should have used odour eliminator.Regards
FrankHi Lena,
It realy is’nt as daunting as it seems.
Most wall paper comes in two sections. Normally the part that is peeling may be the top layer part. If you peel it dry the wall paper seperates and you would be left with a film of paper on the wall that you apply the wall paper remover with a brush. You can buy it from paint shops or bunnings. Apply it once and see how much it soaks in. You may have to apply it 2 or 3 times. Most importantly to potentialy save yourself a lot of work, scrape it off with a PLASTIC scraper. This will not dig into the wall and the paper should fall away easily. There are vinyl wall papers that are a lot harder to strip.
In all my time as a painter I have only encountered 1 wall with vinyl wall paper. I have never had the need to hire a steamer and believe they are more work than doing it the way I mentioned. When you have striped the wall you must wash it with sugar soap and it is most important that you rince it with warm water to remove any glue residue.
If the wall paper is vinyl you need to hire or buy a scorer that makes small holes in the wall paper to allow the striper to soak in.
A normal room takes me about 1 hour from start to finish and ready for paint.
Hope that helps

FrankHi Celeste
What area do you live in?
Regards
FrankHi,
The sub floor was properly prepared, the underlay was not wet,
they seem to bubble over night. I thought it might have to do with the temparature. The glue is what they recomend and I have used it acording to instructions.Regards
FrankHi Benny,
I bought a 2 story storage unit/ office about 18 months ago.
It is in a block of 72 in Campbellfield vic.
They are harder to sell but none the less selling and offering positive returns.
Mine is valued at $41,000 and rents for between $70-$90 per week with the tenant paying all the outgoings.
It is also on the market if you are interested.Regards
FrankTo unknown soldier,
There is no reason that you can’t paint as good as a pro.
Once you learn some basic techniques all you are doing is repeating them over and over ie:rolling and brushing until you complete the house.
Apart from my training I got a lot of resourses from paint shops, bunnings etc. Some of them have videos and leaflets that show you the technique.
I once gave a 20 minute lesson to a group on basic painting and had to assess them. They all passed. Good luck. why not try?
Maybe I should make a video.To hot property investors
Bath rooms are not as simple as they seem.
You may have a few issues going on.
Some bath rooms are painted using enamel paint, it is normally shinier than normal paint. If you try to paint over this using acrylic paint without doing some prep. It may peel.
Another problem may be that you did not clean the walls prior to painting. Bath room surfaces acumilate a certain amount of body fats. Imagine when you boil a piece of silverside in a pot with the lid on. The lid acumilates fat deposits. Same with the walls.
You may have painted over mould which loves body fat.
It is always best to wash with sugar soap. If it is a glossy surface, sand using about 120 grit sand paper or sanding block.
As for your peeling, I would use an orbital sander with 100 paper, remove as much of the loose material as possible, paint using either satin acrylic or enamel adding Emulsabond to acrylic or Penatrol to enamel and add anti mould to either paint.
Hope this helps

Hi Guys,
Alright, I’ll be a smart ass again if thats ok.
Maybe we should pay these scientists stupid amounts of money to explore their theory.
I studied a bit of science and found that it seems to be the way these guys feed themselves. They come up with a theory, sensationalise it, get themselves in the media, give you some plausible explanations and ask for a grant.
Just like Darwin. After all the research still no evidence, just theory.Regards
scepticHi Guys,
Thanks for the feed back.
Is it worth still looking at?
What about other areas of New York, any suggestions?Regards
FrankHi Tools,
Thanks for the link,
I did look at buying one of these units, however I thought they were a bit expensive for the time saved considering you have to roll anyway. For me it was’nt even worth the $120 to hire it.
I’m under the impresion that nordicskier has not done this before.
They do look great for outdoors or large internal walls ( factory etc).
Maybe a short course in spraying would help nordicskier.
By the way my spray guns are from Bunnings.

FrankHey Lifex,
Thanks man,
My Best advice is to start building an ark.Reply
FrankHi John,
I recently painted the walls of a church hall that was lined with paneling. I used an acrylic sealer and then 2 coats of a good quality acrylic paint. I rolled them on then went over with a brush the areas the roller never got, which were few.
I also tinted the sealer the same colour as the paint.
If the panels were covered in a clear you may have to use an oil based undercoat/ sealer.Regards
FrankHi Lifex,
Without trying to sound like a smart ass or disrespect you I have one question.
If you had a glass of frozen water full to the top and it melted, would it over flow or actually reduce in size?
The earth flooding from the global warming affect is nonsence.
There is no conclusive scientific evidence to show that the earth has warmed at all. And if it did and the ice melted the sea levels would drop.
The satelite photo’s the spin doctors use are taken when naturally occuring melts happen,
Don’t be alarmed.
Regards
FrankHi Gismo,
Tools is right,
I have been a painter for years.
I suggest you thoroughly wash the house using sugar soap and a scrubing broom.
You find that vinyl cladding after a few years goes a bit powdery.
If you paint straight over this the paint actually sticks to powder and not vinyl.
Every house I painted or quoted that had vinyl was powdery.
I suggest you buy “Emulsabond” and add it to the paint. Some paint shops can add this to the paint when tinting. This will help the paint stick to the vinyl. Apply 2 coats of the best quality exterior acrylic you can buy (Wattle, Haymes etc).
Good Luck
Regards
FrankHi Bennido,
Fenitrothian is a poison, I agree with wylie, I feel guilty even suggesting it, Maybe try just burning their bum. Cats are smelling and sniffing all the time, I believe the chillie works until you get rain, but by that time they may have it in mind to give your house a wide berth. They sniff it sneeze, weeze and go away. It may also burn their bums.
The Fenitrothian did work on the pigions and they could’nt come back if they wanted to.Hi Christopher,
You can buy anti mould from most paint shops or Bunnings for about $12.
One manufacturer is a company called Flood. You simply add the specified amount into the paint, stir and it helps to protect from the growth of mould.
Some paint stores will charge you extra to add additives in for you for a few extra dollars.
If you are using an enamel paint it might be a good idea to add odour eliminator.
Regards
Frank
