That's a scary amount of paint man, I've been doing some painting myself lately and even one of those big buckets goes a long way! I hope you'll have helpers to paint with you :)
By the way the design of the house looks really cool, where abouts in the world is the house?
It's on Koh Samui, Thailand.
I started doing the prep and painting myself to save money but the heat was a killer! There's still many things I've done and will be doing but very slowly compared to back home. You don't realise everything in 10x harder in the tropics , especially at 55, you start feeling your age lol
Just keep posting @ablaze, people here know who are straight up and who are taking the piss , it'll all good. HW are a necessary evil on Hive and sometimes are a little over zealous as they try to be consistent and not show favour but dont worry, it'll be fine mate :-)
