My new man cave

[get2grips]

I'm going to try again changing brush size. I think this 2" brush may have been the problem.

He gets worse, doesn't he?

Put him back in the microwave !

I just wish I had my own dedicated space... .

[Fenton]

I have a dedicated painting table. but because I can leave it up all the time it is now full of crap with no room to paint at it anymore

[Matt J]

I'm lucky I have a study to paint in. However my painting kit fits into one of my wife's old make-up boxes so easy to tidy away - 25 or so paints, couple of brushes, file, scalpel, couple of sheets of A4 to paint on.

Why does the image of the dormouse in the teapot spring to mind

  ....Probably rather an apt observation Steve.

Anyone else use rolls of kitchen roll or bog roll?

Yep I buy the cheapo toilet roll and I have a " Wire hanger" screwed into the bottom of a shelf next to me  so I can jsut grab a bit from the end of the roll when needed. Get through quite a bit.

Got in trouble the other day - I ran out and nicked the last spare roll of Andrex out of the bathrom.  I was informed that :-

1 Needing it for painting did not constitute "an emergency
2 "my need was not greater than the needs of the rest of the house".  I did try to argue that with three toilets in the house there was actually 3 rolls avaliable for conventional  use but this was overuled. 

To this I replied that in future my "painting roll" was not avaliable in emergencies as loo roll  no matter how dire

Unless it's YOUR emergency however

Yup, me too. With the same result. However, I've developed a technique whereby I place my big cutting board flat on the edge of the table and shove it forward until it occupies its own space. It's then only a matter of picking up whatever has fallen off the other edge. I do recommend putting all the caps back on jars and tubes first though.

Ah...the:          " shove that crap out the way with this crap^tm " technique

[Techno]

I thought everyone did that !

[Hertsblue]

Yes, but as you can see I've trademarked it.
