Nobody likes looking at wires running up to their TV or computers, but hiding them like this…

That was essentially what one competitor said at this years TeamWorks competition… Well at least he got the weep system installed, well sort of… How it should have looked: Rounded corners were optional but these two competitors did a little showing off

You know I have heard of green roofs, but… Yes folks, that is a tree growing out of a gutter – me wonders how long ago they cleaned them…

For the cost of this paint, maybe I can save a few bucks by not priming… Sweet this product is a paint & primer in one… In some cases the above will work just fine, but that is for walls that have already been painted before. Now as for new walls or walls patched with […]
