Just wanted to mention to anyone here that has to work in cold, wet conditions, we think we've finally found a pretty good solution for my icy, achey hands.
Since we're in the finish-work stage of our house, I've been having to do a LOT of paint-brush cleaning-- outdoors in freezing temps-- and it's really taken a toll on my arthritic hands. Bad enough to be out with gloves, but to be out without gloves under running water was brutal (and I'd not found a glove that I could wear in those circumstances. )
But Jeff found the Winter-proof Master Series gloves from Duluth Tradiing Company, and I've been "field-testing" them this week in snowy/ icy/ rainy conditions cleaning my paintbrushes, doing road work, shovelling snow, etc. They seem to work GREAT so far! They're not cheap, but they seem to be well-made, and I think they'll last well.

Product recommendation-- cold, wet conditions
By the way, Jim--
The product Jeff found at Duluth that he REALLLLLLY wanted (the gloves were an after-thought, actually :wink: ), was a "bag" for his framing nailgun. He is VERY happy with that. Fits great, has handles, keeps it clean, etc.
The thing I like about their products is that they DO seem to do some really good product testing to see if their designs actually WORK efficiently and last over time. I LOVE that approach to product design!
Had to wash more paint brushes at 28 degrees and breezy last night. Sure do LOVE those new gloves! :D

As for the inspector stick... Your last name's not here on the forum, so no one can rat you out. :lol:
At least you didn't say to use it over where you guys were making wife jokes. :P :P :P

I'm the wrong one to ask, Jim.
I'm the one who recommends being polite and cooperative with your inspectors. :wink:

PS... and I did warn you they were expensive... but my hands were KILLING me, and now they're not. My hubby thought 30 bucks was a small price to pay for that... especially when I clean HIS brushes as well as my own. :P
