Need thoughts plz I'm fixin to paint my stairs. Some treads are pine and some are oak. Don't think I'm gonna go all wild style with them though. Might do a carpet runner going down the middle of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Gotta sand the stairs and molding (I think that’s what it’s called) too. They are in rough shape and need a facelift. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in your area. Up here dudes come through and don’t even stagger shit. Mad off center. Enormous grout lines. Haven’t seen a good job yet. Usually only from the super pros. I’m pretty strong felt I’d crush tile when the time comes cause I’m wild ocd about lines and even shit. I feel like the only thing I’m gonna have a hard time with is weird cuts. But yeah sorry for going hard on Mexican tile workers I’m sure there are some really great ones lol lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yo @Dark_Knight don’t put no vinyl on your stairs son. At the very least throw some primer on there and then do stencils. They can end up looking pretty cool if you do them right. Or just tile that shit I love the way that stairway was sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUGR Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Sand them and then stain them. Never stick the stickers….especially on your stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Half way through sanding them now. Covered in dust. But yeah the stencil idea seems decent @NightmareOnElmStreet. Or just a simple color. I have navy treads. Open to paint color ideas. I trust you even tho you hate Mexicans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Tenemos mucho trabajo aqui guey! Califas cabron! On the serious - Mexicans be everywhere, NYC kitchens.

KILZ FILLZ Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The day laborers in front of Home Depot are African immigrants now, maybe Caribbean?

fat ralphy Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Up here the paisas would molly-whop a dude trying to edge in on their game. Was at Depot yesterday and there were easily 40 dudes in the lot looking to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUGR Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I haven’t seen day laborers in the Home Depot parking lot in a long ass time.

mr.yuck Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 I've also never seen day laborers at a home Depot ever. I'm telling you, by the time they make it this far east and north, they have acquired some skills that keep them invisible. You can go to any job site and see hundreds of amigos. But once the work day is over and they vaminos... You don't see them out in public. Not driving around, not at Wal-Mart, not even at the Hispanic grocery store down the road from me. Shits wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
