Preparing walls for painting

[Artechim]

He worked for a professional painter and so of course he knows everything. I can see how sanding and dusting would work if the walls are clean, but if there is fly poo all over the place then I don't think it is unreasonable to give them a quick wash over.

Anyhow, he decided he couldn't handle the difference of opinion, made up a barely believable excuse and left. Downside, no painting gets done. Upside, BIL isn't here lol

Yes my father's a painter and that is what he does, brushes it if the wall is clean, but washes it if dirty. So he's a little bit right.
