Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimates, Costs Profits: Exterior Painting and Interior Decorating Efficiency is the goal of the business world today and it means just as much to the contracting painter as to any other business man, efficiency in business methods, in handling men, equipment and materials. The efficient painter makes money on a contract that his inefficient competitor would fill at a loss. To know your business, to figure where the other fellow guesses at it is the most worthy, the most effective of all efforts to make a profit. The figures given in this book were carefully worked out and verified. They are given chiefly to explain the method, but all are as nearly accurate as it is possible to make them under average working conditions. Any tests you may make probably will not come out in exactly the same figures, but they will show that the figures given are accurate enough for all practical purposes and to furnish a basis upon which to build an estimate and calculate costs.

Download or read book The Expert House Painter Classic Reprint written by AN ASHMUN. KELLY and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expert House Painter The priming of interior wood-work is done according to the character of the wood. Treatment of the old white pine wood, scarce now, but dear to memory still, requires little description: well thinned white lead paint, little driers, is all that is required. But as much of the white pine of to-day contains much sap and hard spots, these require attention. The sap will require touching up with an extra coat; the hard parts will need to he well brushed out, with heavier or less oily paint. For a white job it may be necessary to coat the work with white shellac. Then sandpapering, for the smoother the work is made at the start the easier it will be to maintain smoothness to the finish. It is well when sandpapering to lay down stiff paper of cloth, to catch the lead dust, after which the cloth or paper may be shaken out of doors. Dust off woodwork after sandpapering. Putty all nail holes and other imperfections. A putty made of white lead and whiting, or adding some white lead to the usual putty, according to color of finish desired, will be better than ordinary putty, which is difficult to hide with several coats of white. White lead putty dries harder and does not shrink as whiting putty is apt to do. In sandpapering, if the paper is slightly dampened with benzine or turpentine, there will be no dust to fly. Shellac all knots and sappy places, using the white shellac and using it thin. Many prefer to shellac on the priming coat. There does not seem to be any particular advantage in this. Shellac in grain or denatured alcohol is better than that in wood alcohol. Never use wood alcohol at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Mural Painting: A Study of the Important Decorations by Distinguished Artists in the United States The decoration of a wall surface is one of the most reason able and natural forms under which the arts are practised. Although archaeologists trace, with many interesting details, the various steps of its evolution, through ages when nations that possessed no other means of preserving histories and records of the important events of the time, or of their religious beliefs, made signs, characters, and rude representations of human figures and animals upon. Stone, those studies are of such intricacy and depth, and are so entirely technical, that, while they are of value to the critic and the special student of art and letters, it is not necessary for the general reader to go far into the subject of these early suggestions, of what, in the fulness of time, has become the splendid art with which we are familiar.
