I am new to this website and new to painting. I used to do odd jobs on the side years ago to
supplement my income. recently, i began again. not really cut out for the corporate world.
although i work a full time job, i am off half a month because the way the schedule is set up.
so, i figure i will get this little business up and running, and with a little luck, quit my job.
i have a wife and 3 children. my oldest just graduated from college and my two youngest
will start college in august. i like painting because it is relaxing as long as i stay focused on
the end product and not the money.
with my odd jobs, i find that most of my calls levitate towards painting. currently, i have a job
that is the first time i went in behind a contractor. the customer is a good one, so i want to be
careful with the price. quality is more important to me than cash. nonetheless, the contractor
did a shotty job on the wall board. the joints are not even, and it looks like he only put on one
coat of joint compound. i put a couple extra coats of joint compound on, but the mesh still bleeds
through in some areas. any suggestions?
