Some comments are too good to waste.

Overheard on site today:
"You look like you get paid by the mistake!"

Ten minutes later I was making cartoons instead of working.

Worth it. šŸ˜‚

Very neglected deck.
And yesā€¦ itā€™s my own. šŸ˜‚
Been hammered by sun, weather, and years of ā€œIā€™ll sort it next monthā€.
Finally gave it some attention today. First coat of CUTEK CD50 down and itā€™s already starting to look respectable again.
Still dry.
Still rough around the edges.
But the timberā€™s absolutely drinking it in.
Good reminder that a lot of old decks donā€™t actually need replacing. They just need someone to stop ignoring them long enough to maintain them properly.
Typical painterā€™s house though.
Everyone elseā€™s place looks schmick while your own deckā€™s hanging on for dear life. šŸ»

Dulux spray training day.
Bit of hands-on training, and getting to play with some new equipment thats recently hit the market instead of just seeing it online.
Big thanks to the Dulux and Graco reps for putting it together.
Special shout out to Dan Travers for listening to the Accredited Central Coast members and putting this together.
And shout outs to;
Alisha @ Tuggerah Dulux store for hosting
Angie @ West Gosford Dulux for helping put it all together.
Also guest appearances by Painting by Josh sparing his expertise and experience.

Even after years in the game, thereā€™s always something worth learning when you get a bunch of painters together comparing methods, systems, setups and shortcuts.
And somehow I managed to win the $1,000+ doorprize Graco PowerShot unit at the end of the day, so Iā€™d call that a win šŸ»
Painters turn up with brushes.
We turn up with a plan.

Bloody P plater not looking and took out one of our vans.
Now comes the disrupted schedules, and crews trying to keep projects moving while sorting out the chaos in the background.
and a few weeks of admin, insurance calls, and downtime that nobody budgets for when running a trade business.

Killcare job ā€” 7 levelsā€¦ safe to say weā€™re getting our step count in.

Who actually likes stairs?
Raked ceilings, beams everywhere, and gaps the whole way down ā€” this oneā€™s going to chew through a few boxes of filler.

Before we even start?
Steep block, no easy access. Everything in via verniculator just to get on site.

From there itā€™s all angles, height, and lighting that shows every little thing. Nothing straight, nowhere to hide.

Looks like a ā€œpretty good conditionā€ houseā€¦ until you get into it.

Good thing Toby and Israel are on prep ā€” thatā€™s where these jobs are won.

Anyone can paintā€¦
This is the difference.

Painters turn up with a brush, we turn up with a plan.

Heritage work showcase for '26
A few of the heritage homes weā€™ve been trusted with this year.
All different, but same story behind them, layers of old coatings, failed areas, and details that only stay sharp if you treat them properly.
None of these are ā€œpaint jobsā€. Theyā€™re all process work. Strip back where needed, stabilise whatā€™s there, and build it back up so it lasts, without burying the character.

Finishing up this Burradoo heritage home.

This wasnā€™t a wash and repaint. Years of coatings built up, loss of detail through the boards and trims, and sections starting to let go.
We went through it properly, stripping back where it had failed, filling & gapping just about every surface. Then feathering everything back, and getting the substrate to a point we could actually trust again. A lot of this job was decisions made metre by metre, not just rolling paint.
Topped off in Dulux Acratex Acrashield Advanced.
Goal wasnā€™t just to make it look good now, but to stop repeating the same problems. Bring it back to a consistent system across the whole exterior without burying the detail again.
