Nice job on the van, Beav.

I painted houses for 20+ years before I quit in 04' when the kids showed up. After all those years I came to the conclusion that painters, if they stick with it long enough, will follow one of three path's. They either become drunks/drug addicts from breathing fumes all day, go insane from the tedious work and crazy clients, or become enlightened mental giants through constant meditation whilst slinging a brush.

I'd say you have found the path to enlightenment unless you are a high functioning drunk but I doubt that's the case.
May the Kilz be with you.



LMAO....That’s a pretty accurate statement, especially painters on the coast. My dad told me if I wanted to work for myself and make a good living, paint on the Oregon Coast. A lot of the Trades here have abuse issues, or don’t want to work if the fishing turns on. Customers have a hard time just getting their calls returned for lookin at work.

It’s been like this forever where contractors don’t show up. Makes me money by just calling a potential customer back, then showing up to bid the work...Exterior fumes aren’t too bad with typical coastal winds. More of an issue watching overspray on a neighbors home, deck, or rigs in the driveway.

Interior painting....Sheesh, I’m high as hell all the time from breathing fumes. Laffin 😎

Sheesh..

between you


and that Alaska dude's "Joe King" humor this place is losing its touch.



And, before I finished reading your whole post, I figured you were referring to some serial killer I saw on the ID Channel's "dead people" shows (That's what my wife calls my true crime shows)

Dang, after looking at the pic of the van you're done with and getting rid of, and the pic from the show.................


is there something you're not telling us Beav?

Thanks LD...Rough cutting and screwing timber together is a close as I can get to finish carpentry. The rest gets caulked in and painted. Laffin 😎

Liquid joinery bro. hahaha

Nice job on the van it looks sharp inside and out. Unlike the old one, tell me you'll wash this one, at least once?

Yeah I lived literally on the coast for quite a while. All that rain makes your rig look nice and clean all the time Till your roof rack starts dribbling rust tracks down the body and the frame and everything bolted to it starts to look like it just got pulled up from the bottom of the sea

That's nice!

Scrape off the rusty scale and paint paint paint every year. Whatever color "white" you have hangin' around. It works on tugs and fishing boats............no problem on a van.

Of course, until you get it in the yard for a rebuild and can sandblast it, your van will just gain a few pounds every year. Whatever solids are left after the volatiles are gone!

My wife nephew moved up here few yrs back. Bought a similar van like yours. He left it here and moved to Juneau with promises he would come a get it and left the heaping pile of chit at our house. It started off on the side of the house then in the back yard.. I needed it gone, wife had it sold to some Samoans for $1000 bucks but her nephew being the die hard Rez Indian thought thing was a block of gold and wanted more money. Samoans walked and guess what was a lawn ornament at my house. You guessed the white rape van.
So my bud has a place kind of has collage of wrecked cars asked him to keep over there. He said sure, so I fire this pile up, which was a miracle. I take off down the road I get over 40 ph ucking thing starts to shake like the ph ucking space shuttle on re-entry. When you stop at stop signs or lights thing barely runs. So we make it my buds and leave it. My wife gets ahold of her nephew, this is where it gets good. He says him and his brother applied for passports and are going to drive this ph ucking thing through canada. I told the wife that pile of chit won’t make it to glennallen 160 miles away.
Well my bud goes and falls in love moves to anchorage, decides to rent his place asked me to move it. So I get one of my buds to help me I get it started and begin the cross town adventure. Same thing shakes real bad idle gotten worse, transmission slipping like like retard at a water park.
I park in front of the house and this past Halloween me and the wife decorated it.



The ph ucking thing still in the front yard, I need to make this thing disappear or give it to a Samoan family let them deal with the title
