As seen this morning at work. The job is at an old school that is being
converted into flats. The decorator painted straight over the ice on the window frames. -- Adam |

If it's good enough for a hedgehog then why not a window frame? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/...20000005DC-431 _634x475.jpg I had to visit a faulty radio base station in a tank room on top of a block of flats a couple of years ago. Someone had been tasked with painting the metal tanks with thick grey paint. I think he must have been told "paint ALL the metal grey" The base never seemed to work quite the same again after its new coat, the air vents were smaller, the heat sink not so efficient etc. But it was a nice shade of GREY..................... -- Bill |

I remember seeing a guy painting post boxes, I stood back and watched him paint over green algae for a few seconds waiting to post a letter. I didn't hang around to watch for long as it was ****ing down with rain! Mike |
