Mrs Nick has bought a PaintPod and seems to expect me to use it.
Anything I should know, like?

Okay...
The good news is that you can paint vast areas very quickly with it. It will pump paint to the roller as fast as you can roll and no need to keep climbing up and down ladders to fill the roller, etc. happy088

Excellent!

Excellent!
Everything else about it is shite tho... noooo:

Haven't you got vomit to mop up?

Shall I send Sven round to help you whistle:

Okay... serious now...
The PaintPod paint doesn't cover very well - you'll need two coats minimum. That advert where he keeps painting the wall 'til the bird comes and shags him is complete nonsense.
PaintPod paint isn't like normal paint - it has a slight sheen. So, you can't do your edging with Pure Brilliant White and then paint the alls with PaintPod pure brilliant white...
The PaintPod is an ergonomic disaster area. If you lift the centre handle (to move it around) you can't then lift the blue cover to store the roller. The blue cover is also secured by two catches that require superhuman strength to open - again you can't do this when you are holding the roller. The power cord comes out as soon as you reach the top of a ladder... in fact any time that is really inconvenient.
The self cleaning process is shite. It is supposed to do it automatically with 5l of water - it takes at least 25 litres of water to get it reasonably clean. If you let the dip tube dry out you have to throw it away and buy another...
OK?
-
I may print all that stuff off like for reference cry:
-
Oh... and you are supposed to pump paint into the little edging pot - to do your edging like.
That is totally ridiculous as you then have to clean the entire pipe system (25 litres of water again) after... Just pour the paint into the pot from the container...
Actually, the little triangular edging brush is quite good...
-
Without wanting my head to be bitten off ..... cry: - can you not get a man in to do all that . Sounds like an awfull ot of work and you have the complete collection of Bond to read cloud9:
-
1. We have got a lot of men in at present. Too many evil:
2. Mrs Nick thinks we can do it ourselves (i.e. I can do it) and The Boy will use gloss paint to paint a (yellow!) shed
3. I read all the Bond novels last week
OK?
-
I am just concerned for your welfare and general well being my dear cloud9:
-
Barmisspah has sensible ideas cloud9:
-
Oh and the blue container that collects all the painty water when you clean it doesn't have a pouring lip... noooo:
-
I'd make a run for it while there's still time Nick. We can offer you a bed in the loft for a few days until the heat's off.

Had you considered the advantages of not letting the property to students but rather seeking tenants from among the gay, interior decorating types? Offer a reduced rent for 3 months on condition that they give the place a makeover. whistle:
Mrs Nick would have a wonderful time discussing paint colour charts and fabric swatches with them.
-
Also a good plan. My London tenants (one a professional painter and decorator) redecorated the whole place on condition I bought the materials. ?180 cloud9:
No Paint Pod involved
-
angel1 What could possibly go wrong? ~ All you need to do is cruise the gay bars of Scallypool to find suitable tenants.
