My local hardware have been great during the great lockdown of 2020,send them an email the eveing before,phonecall from them next morning,pay over the phone,pick it up 20-30 mins later....picked paint up earlier,on to the play/dining room now....just the sitting room to do after that....and that'll be pretty much it,no doubt she'll want picture frames,mirrors hung when i'm finished painting,

Good luck with the queuing Silver!!

If they have it and it's no more than €40,. c.€36 in Screwfix but they've only had it in Waterford for the last month or so. Lenihans have some but they're looking for €47 so they can fuck right off, the thieving cunts. Anywaysanall, I'm not particularly stuck for it, just out of it and like to have some on hand so not going to pay over the odds!

I used too enjoy it a lot more than I do these days but I don't mind when I've fuck all else to do and the sun's not shining. I've always subscribed to doing it yourself if you want it done properly but if you're not a practical man - as my brother would say (of himself) - the Poles are great grafters and dirt cheap... is that racist?

Nah, the Bullseye is the best water based "magic paint" I've ever come across, - but a pony for a 1 litre tin in Woodies is worse than Lenihans! - covers anything in any condition and my go to undercoat/primer. The Shellac based B.I.N. would be my second choice and I can get that in Band Q if need be... thanks.

I see Grange are looking for €68 for the B.I.N. (2.5L) https://grange.ie/builders-providers/zinsser-bin-primer-2-5-litre?search=zinsser - €52 in Screwfix (Out of Sock), similar (maybe €54) in B&Q... Screwfix and B&Q both part of the Kingfisher Group, of course. Surprising to be honest, I always thought Grange were reasonably competitive.

Yisser are mad buying paint in Woodies. Both Johnstone's and Crown decorating centres are back open. As an aside I picked up a tin of Johnstone's Trade Aqua Tech Satin in my sisters shed... by far the best water based top coat for wood/metal I've ever used. Way Better than the Johnstone's Since 1890 version. Highly recommended for interior white doors/trim... well, not necessarily white, they colour match all the Trade branded stuff so over 16,000 colours I guess.

I've noticed some (quite pleasant, to be honest) graffiti on telecoms and/or similar cabinets around town. I wonder if they're commissioned or is it dem blacks?

There's a girl that does them around Santry,i have seen other artist doing similar in different areas,i'd say they're commissioned otherwise DCC would be losin the plot like they did with all those Banksy type muriels around the place.

Fingal County Council for the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan but the same probably applies.... unless the council / utility firm painters are off for the COVID '19.

I can get paint from Akso Nobel/ Crown if you want?

Not at the moment, thanks. The Zinsser Bullseye is the only one I can't find myself at a reasonable price but I can wait... or get the B.I.N. from B&Q.
