Sure I’ve painted the walls and stained some doors before and I hated every minute (well, unless I had lots of beer and could crank the stereo up full blast to either AC/DC or limp biscuit). This thing looks cool.

We need a new roof soon and trying to talk wife into metal roof but she wants shingles. She mentioned yesterday that if we did metal, she would like to paint the house (brick ranch style). Although I cringed at the thought of painting the brick, this would make it easy.

Way easy.  My house has cedar siding on the upper level, so it needs a cedar toned sealer about every 5 years.  The first time I did it, I used a shitty Wagner sprayer and an extension ladder.  It took me three days, I had to take a week's vacation to do it all.  This time, I rented a pull behind telescoping lift for 130 bucks for the weekend, and bought the sprayer.  I did TWO coats in about 6 hours.  Most of that was repositioning the lift. :andy:

My neighbor was so impressed, he went out and bought one the next day for his decks.
