House Painting

[zamler]

Sherwin Williams has many grades of paint. When I was a painting contractor, one builder specified the lowest end Sherwin Williams, the absolute worst paint, atrocious in basically every respect. We called it Seethrough Williams for a reason.

Can we get closure on that anecdote?
What happened with the thieves?

The police pursued it for a while, there was one guy that they couldn't locate. I called every couple days for a while and eventually gave up. The one expensive piece of jewelry was fully covered by insurance, but 2-3 thousand of lesser valued jewelry and other items we slowly discovered were gone (ipod,digital camera, anything of value that would fit in a pocket) would have been covered under my regular homeowners that had a $2,000 deductible due to 3 years of hurricane damage.

I had all sorts of fantasies of giving them a visit, but got over it. I got a lawyer friend to send them a couple threatening letters, but the address their business was registered to wasn't valid.

That really sucks. It will definitely make me think the next time I give out a key to my house to a cleaner or builder.

Address the real question at hand, what grade of Sherwin did you use?

Moral of the story is, always use Benjamin Moore paint.
