Paint overspray prevention?

Twenty feet apart isn't an ordinary subdivision, it is a ghetto :) I may have underestimated the 20ft somewhat. It's no ghetto (our lot is almost 3/8 acre, the neighbor's a little less), but each of these two houses has been built with the garage end not far from the property line. On the other end of our house, where a living area faces the neighbor's living area, the separation is greater. Perce |

Even with an airless sprayer? So who uses these sprayers that are on sale "everywhere" if they are unsuitable for use in ordinary subdivisions? Twenty feet apart isn't an ordinary subdivision, it is a ghetto :) 20 feet is typical for anything but a McMansion subdivision, and even some of those place the houses very close on tiny lots, for yuppies that don't care to be bothered with much lawn upkeep. On old urban lots, a 10 foot side yard would be considered a fancy extra-large lot. On real old urban lots with alleys, less than 10 feet between houses was quite common. (looks out window) In this semi-rural 1960 sub, distance from my garage to neighbor seems to be about 25 feet. Used to be further, but previous owner added a 2-car garage with family room behind, and buried the old 1-car garage in the basement. (Wish there was a cheap way to un-bury it. It would make a good woodshop if it had an outside entrance.) -- aem sends... -- aem sends... |
