Some important tips about paint preparation
Filling and sanding takes time and the
right products. Grime and dust may
not be obvious but surfaces almost
always need cleaning.
Blistering, flaking, and peeling of paint
on wooden surfaces is usually caused
by moisture under the paint. Painting over
stains (for example, caused by water)
can involve special steps, as can
painting surfaces previously treated
with stains and oils.
Water problems need proper fixing
before you paint, and often another
tradesman will need to do this for you.
They are often a sign of a greater
problem and your painter will rely on
you if you say the problem is fixed. If
it's not, and the paint job then fails,
your ability to complain will be limited.
If inside, the problem may be
condensation. Painting in wet areas
requires special steps to be taken.
Don’t skimp on costs if it means
skimping on preparation. The
the cheapest quote may well be because
there is less preparation.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
