You are CRAZY! I'd be terrified the whole time. Of course I usually spray vs roll/brush and that's even worse.

I do a lot of home improvement and use an old tissot to do that, not an AP, to say the least, you've got a massive pair.

No way. It made it through the bedroom, dining room and living room. Not even a lot of paint on it.

The bedroom took a bit longer as there was 5 layers of old wallpaper to be removed...

Living/dining room only took around 6-7hours to complete. 2 layers down, still have to do the third. AP on of course!

Lol... I'm going to do some plumbing for my mother in law today. Whichever watch I'm wearing (leaning towards the 111 today) is coming off during the job!

This reminds me of a post on a now dead forum. The OP was working on his car wearing an FC ROO of some sort and damaged the case.

Nice. I would be too scared to even think about doing that with my APs

I do ALMOST everything with one of my watches on. I wouldn't paint with a watch on though... Then again, I wouldn't paint WITHOUT a watch on either, lol.

Btw, what reference is a WG ROC?

lookin' good!

i'm not sure what all the excitement is about. i suppose opening cans of paint could maybe be a delicate situation, but rolling paint on a wall?

plus, how else could you time how long it takes you to paint the room?
