HAHAHA. The guys painting my house are Brazilian.
I'm pretty sure they don't know about the joke, though.

And, wow, are they doing a most excellent job. Best paint job in the 17 years we've lived here and 5 prior jobs.

:thumbsup:

3. Presumably, they don't know Donald Rumsfeld or George Bush, so you should be ok.
:-)

I'm glad the house painting is going well.

Did an absolutely unbelievable job as far as prep work is concerned. The house looks great.

14. Oh, trust me. They are being paid very well.
And, they deserve it. They're doing an amazing job.

Rehanging the shutters and painting the front door as I type this.

12. I suspect by now Midlo is "in the shower" so she can walk out
wet, naked, and surprised to see all those men peering through her bedroom window.

18. Well, I *did* offer them beer Saturday
because it was 102 degrees. They declined, but did take a bunch of cold bottled waters with them.
