Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?

I've found that cheap bruhes work better than the Purdy because the roughness separates the bristles. That's why I was considering a paint sprayer because I have spent a lot on different brushes and rollers. I'm using a lot more paint trying to get coverage in all of the dimpled areas also. Would love advice on how to tackle my painting project!Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?
Get a roller with a 3/4 inch nap, or a lambs wool roller. You might still need to dab some paint in the deeper dimples, but these should do the job.Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?

There is a foam cover that is slit about every 1/2 inch. It works great on really rough surfaces. Lowe's and Orchard Supply Warehouse have them.That would be a lot faster than a brush and better coverage than a 3/4 inch regular cover.
Lowes sells rollers to use on rough surfaces. I wouldn't use a paint sprayer, unless you're painting outside.

There is a roller for these types of walls. and painting it is no diff than any other wall. I do use more coats for my own peace of mind,these types just take more patience.

What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?

Three weeks ago my Grandma broke her hip. After getting a pedicure and prior to a massage, beauticiantician had her put on a robe and a pair of disposable flip flops. After changing my grandma of 84 years walked out to the lobby and tripped on a misplaced floor mat (over-lapping another). My Grandma has had surgery since. She asked me for some advice on where to find a good lawyer, and also whether or not she should sue.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I feel really bad for your grandma that she had to have surgery. However, I think it's really mean for her to sue. I've been in the beauty industry, and most day spas are locally owned businesses. Suing could shut them down and ruin the salon-owners livelihood. This could be devastating to the salon owner, particularly if she has a family that she is supporting. The disposable flip-flops are standard after a pedicure, there's nothing negligent about that. The misplaced floor mat could have happened anywhere, including at home. I think she should sue if she truely ginuinely needs the money for the medical care, but for no more. No pain and suffering, etc.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I can feel what you and your grandma feels. It's a hard situation for old woman to broke her hip.





In the case of yours, perhaps you may ask free advise from pro-bono attorneys (non commercial/voluntary attorneys). There are plenty of them around the USA and they are really good. They don't even charge money for giving any law assistance to the society. Perhaps, you may take a look on the list that I just found from a very good website. Here it is %26gt;%26gt; http://criminalsattorney.info/998809-Com鈥?/a>





Hope it helps you a lot!

    Can anybody advice me on how to start a meatshop business?

    My family wants to venture into a small scale meatshop business in our locality in the visayas. Do you know any links that can help me with this negosyo? Aside from meat that equipments needed. for this type of business.Can anybody advice me on how to start a meatshop business?
    All the local meatshops have closed over the last 15 years. I wonder if this is the time that is right for a return to the old days. The one near me had wonderful steaks. They went out of business. Everyone shopped at Safeway.


    The equipment should be easy. THere are restaurant supply warehouses everywhere. You will do best to contact the bankruptcy court and all the local ';business brokers';. There are storage sheds filled with meat cutting equipment and no one ever expects to find a buyer in 2008.


    I want you to think of some side-business that could make this work. What could you do yourself that would attract people to stop in for something else and leave with meat for dinner? Get to work and think of something.

    I need advice on how to price my garage sale items?

    I have lots of nice things I am putting in a garage sale, such as clothes, baby items, and household things. I want to make a lil money, but do not want to be too high on my items. What is a good rule or percentage of retail value that I should put on these like new items?





    Also, it's a multi family sale. We are planning on using different color stickers for each family to make the check out easier. Any different ideas or suggestions for organization would be great. Thanks in advance.I need advice on how to price my garage sale items?
    Try to go at least to 50% of the original price, if not more. Another thing to keep in mind is, if you price it just a little higher than you think it should go for, people can talk you down. That always makes a buyer happy, when they think they talked you down from your original price. It works for me. Out of the last 2 yard sales I had in the last couple of years, I've made at least $300. Good luck.I need advice on how to price my garage sale items?

    Look at some of the existing sales that are probably selling similar items to what you are selling. Check out the prices.





    You can even email the user and ask their opinion directly.



    What is some advice you have for beggining babysitters?

    Me and my friend are planning on putting up ads and fliers around town to start babysitting. What are some things we would need to tell them about ourselves so that they would be comfortable to trust us with there children?What is some advice you have for beggining babysitters?

    Have you considered taking a babysitting class? Some cities offer them at the local hospital or through the Red Cross. They teach you some basic first aid and CPR, what to do in an emergency, how to keep both you and the children safe, and some classes even teach you how to write a simple resume and how to find babysitting jobs.





    I have a 2 year old daughter and would be much more likely to hire a sitter with this kind of training.
    if it were me looking for a babysitter, i would want to have someone i know recommend one. and also i would want to know the kind of experience a sitter had w/kids and what the ages were they cared for. also, a babysitting course is very helpful- i took one when i was 13.
    Each of you should take first aid classes, CPR, infant CPR, babysitting classes, any class that is offered by the Red Cross. Most of these classes are offered through a community center, community college, and at hospitals.
    You need to go to the people you actually KNOW who have kids, not fliers. That is VERY dangerous.


    Honestly, I wouldn't ask a stranger to care for my child.
