If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching a second time. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first attempt.

If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.


Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

PAINTING A DOOR

Post by Jaeger » Mon May 06, 2019 10:52 am

This is truly random:

Any words of wisdom when it comes to painting a steel external door? Our front door gets baked every afternoon so the paint's peeling up badly -- thus I must repaint -- but I'd rather do this as infrequently as possible (preferably once). I'm having a slow week so can devote the time to actually doing this right.

BSH, you're a general-contractor type, what brands/mixtures/methods you recommend? Anybody else with clue?

Otherwise it's me, a power sander, and the nice people at Home Despot. :D :shock:

I personally hate painting and thus have devoted my career to advising on entirely grey concrete buildings in lieu of frippery like colors or style. I will ask the painters on my current project, but typically we use an industrial enamel paint. Lowe's or HD will probably have a Rustoleum product similar to it. Oil based paint will wreck your paint brushes and will make you sick with the smell while it cures, but its tough as nails when it dries. You would want to avoid direct sunlight when you paint it and for as long as possible afterwards, so maybe build a little tarpaulin tent over your door while you do this, but MAKE SURE IT IS VENTILATED like leave the sides open or something. Refer to my previous statement regarding smell, those vapors will literally make you small and knock your ass out.

I found this thread and, man, was I confused.

The title and the thread author, didn't compute.

Painting. That's Peter's thing, innit? Why is Bill encasing a door in inches and inches of paint?! Is that maybe some kind of romantic gesture for Mishka, what with the trade she's in?

Piccini, how would you go about painting such a door?
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.

Heh, I've already screwed that up -- I stripped it down to bare metal. Bad start for one of Piccini's projects. :mrgreen:
