Let's get rich.
« on: April 05, 2013, 10:16:54 PM »
I have been varnishing for several days now. Not personally, but the new skirting and doors in the hall (well, maybe not as new as they once were, it's just taken me a wee while to get to them). What a pain in the buttcheeks. It got me thinking that varnishing and painting in general, could do with an upgrade. I present the following as evidence:

1. No-one likes beating their clothes off of rocks in a river...let's invent a washing machine.
2. No-one likes washing dishes...let's invent a dishwasher.
3. No-one likes taking carpets out and beating the living sh...dust out of them...let's invent the vacuum cleaner.
4. No-one likes talking to their partners...let's invent the TV.
5. No-one likes varnishing and painting...let's invent nothing, nada, zero...how crap is this?

We can send men to the moon, we can see galaxies light years away, and we can't invent something to paint for us? Ladies and gentlemen, let us put our wealth of knowledge together and solve this problem. There are riches to be made for sure.

I don't mind the painting part itself (use a roller for most) - it is the washing of the walls and the chip filling and sanding, building up to it that bugs me.
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I would like to get rich though so this turns out to be a Google of an idea let it be known I was here on the ground floor and want my royalty cheque.

I think there's something on the market that you put in the middle of your empty room and detonate. Result - all walls covered evenly. And ceiling and floor. Wot abaht dat den?

That's where I go wrong....I thought painting was to cover up dust, spiders' webs etc :-\

A paint-mine...I like it. All we need is a Royal to be a patron of those accidentally caught in the emulsion and we're off and running.

I can almost smell the success.

you do have to remember to empty the room and leave before detonating the paint bomb.  Otherwise you are left with unsightly images on the walls, and a likelihood of being nabbed as a bank robber who's triggered a protective dye pack.

Perfect timing then. It was the Grand National yesterday, Tesco's shelves should be crammed full.   ;D
