Beacon Hill painting; not for the faint of heart! I took this photo in early July while visiting our project at the British Consulate residence on Chestnut street. This painter was working one block away from the Statehouse and what the picture doesn't show is his supervisor on the sidewalk, pacing back and forth while talking on his phone.
I cannot begin to fathom the sheer foolishness of this behaviour. An undersized ladder, placed on a sidewalk without any sort of warning or barrier to interference by pedestrians, is one safety hazard; the added element of risk this painter is subject to, given the fall hazard and especially the balusters below is criminal negligence on the part of the contractor.
No wonder then, our industry struggles to improve its image when this is the public face of residential painting.
