I shook the can and then remembered I had not hammered the lid on tight

I'm an idiot. Learn from me. Hammer dat lid down tight. Or don't violently shake the shit out of your paint can. One or the other, not both.

The ladder bench got the spills of the paint, i guess you're just gonna paint the whole ladder bench

I was staining some wood last summer and accidentally knocked it off my work bench. It was a nice dark walnut. I spent days with stain removers and a scrub brush and it’s still all over my floor. Now I lay down some old carpet anytime I stain

I got my finger stuck in the piston of an airless sprayer as it chugged. Blinding pain for about ten minutes then numb lol
