First real customer WTW job of the season

[plainpainter 217]

Here are some pics a customer sent to me through email, so I could give her quote. Let me know what you think in terms of estimating - and I will tell you how I fared plus the after photos. What I did was make one trip to do a test strip after I gave her an initial estimate that she was happy with. Second trip, I stripped the deck, third trip - sanded all the surfaces, stained, and collected my last check.

I get the round bristle 6" Osborns from McMaster-Carr for around $40-$45. There not as aggressive as the flat bristle Osborns. I've really never looked into finding a good place to get the flat bristles. I know Permachink and log home supply stores sell them for a ridiculous inflated price of over a $100 a piece. They wouldn't rob a person, or nothing! I don't see how they sell any of them. Maybe someone else has found a good spot to buy the flat bristled Osborns
