I can see the window... I can see the evidence of splashing...
(...but I reckon she's asleep on the job, Jon, that can of green paint she's holding is just to bluff you into thinking it holds fluro paint; the other hand may be washing the paintbush under water)

I'd like to point out that I'm an unruly employee who never signs contracts or follows rules too well. As for the spa rules well all I can is there's only one man that's ever going to see me in my birthday suit and that's my lovely Dean who will be here on the 27th
Bushie you may have to take Sue out for the evening when he arrives
Ian, I don't recommend drinking the green paint but my goodness those spa jets clean the brushes well

First thing I found was Enn had loged me off my laptop and i couldn't remember my password to post again!
Raining this morning. Enn's solo paint job was inside and I managed to drag the pub A Frame into the shelter of the drive thru bottle shop.
In the process of walking back to my van with a full beer can of white paint managed to dump it down my leg and across the carpark also leaving tail of foot prints to vandal's vehicle! . Fortunately it was raining and water base paint, and also fire hose handy!
We installed her very first solo windowsplash this afternoon:
Not bad eh? Owners delighted.
Ann headed for spa pool again. Checked her out for brushes this time.
By the way ... she doesn't have abide by #4 to look good.

Thanks, Enn. I thought it looked like a giant ultrasonic brush-cleaner.

Look there Jon, I'm not seeing any Colorblind Schizophrenic Monkeys in any of these pictures. How do you expect to have any success with this endeavour without the proper assistance?
Geez Mate, I better head down that way and help you out soon, at least I'll keep the brushes and paint in the trees where they belong!
Made enn drive the van so she could get used to it in case she need to go out alone. Did well except for one full rotation around a roundaout after missing the exit.
Quickie sticky on couple of trucks then into a banner on the floor of the canvas shop. Her first taste of painting in vinyl ink on her knees.
Murphy's law struck immediately .... paper patterns did not fit! "Architects" design on multi scalloped banner fail to show scallops!!!
Quick dash, 20minutes home, to resize patterns for middle section, while ann applied prints and paint mask to top and bottom sections which actually fitted!
Then HNSC struck ... new patterns fitted ok for middle but Boss's instructions to employee about weeding paint mask for small lettering end up positive not negative!
Another 20 minute ride back to and from home with new mask while ann marked out rest of banner for painting in ink.
Finally finish by lunchtime which was well within high profit range, even with stuff ups by customer and me !!!
Tomorrow is a "vinyl" day with a trip in the country for application. Then Kel Lawton and his dog Milo arriving prior to our "mini meet" at the museum Saturday

The boss is indeed a very brave man having me for a chauffeur. I think I can almost get lost in town on my own now. At least I can help trimming the trees with the van as we drive out
My hands are starting to look like I've been doing rather a lot of work with paint, all of my fingernails are a different colour. There has to be a secret to keeping paint where its meant to go, most of the time it ends up on me, the floor and surrounding areas. Maybe I should ditch the brushes and take up finger painting
