Excellent quality of work

Excellent quality of work - 07/19/21 08:59 PM

I was getting gas at the Tom Thumb fillin' station last Saturday and noticed that they had done some paintin' and sprucin' up the concrete planters/pump blockers. I had to snap a photo of the fine quality of workmanship.

I have to say that even when I was 6 years old, I knew better than to just slop and spill paint like this, but hey, we are in the age of GenZ'rs I suppose.

It was probably a contractor job hired out by Albertsons rather than an employee of that store. But still.

It looks like they used a spoon or a stick to paint with. roflmao

I hate when someone spills concrete all over the paint.

I should post some pictures of the work Superior A/C out of Burleson did at my house. It was pathetic.

This^^. I certainly could create a disaster like that in doing something, but man... I simply don’t have it in me to walk away with it looking like that!

Did they blow paint that with a giant crack straw? If so may be valuable. breakdance

When you said painting at 6 it reminded me of a time my dad tasked me with doing some painting on a little fishing pier we'd just built on Nocona. I hadn't gotten much done before I'd turned around and kicked a whole bucket of some kind of heavy duty red paint into the lake. That stuff covered the entire surface of the cove and got a good red coat on EVERYTHING that touched the water. Thankfully there weren't any boats close enough to catch it. When he walked back down, I was trying to come up with a good excuse as to why there was red paint on every cattail and rock you could see, but it was too late.

Pablo Picasso reincarnated, you just don't appreciate modern art when you see it. I see the struggle of the ordinary man having to toil against nature- and obviously Mother Nature always wins. Staying inside the lines is for squares...

What about the red? Do you not understand the significance- that it represents the spilt blood of those who have sacrificed so you can live in freedom? grin
