    How wide of a flood will each light have? Maybe base the spacing off of that? :notsure:
    I would also like to know this.

    For a tool like a sprayer that would only get used for big jobs once every few years, I would rent instead of buy. If you’ll use it frequently that’s a different story.

    I used a wagner and sprayed couple decks, it worked great for what i needed and no thinning down the paint. Cleanup was a pain but other than that no issues

    I did have an old one and that gave me nothing but trouble, and you had to thin the paint. Too much and it was runny, too little and wouldnt spray

    I used a Graco X7 to paint the entire exterior of my house this past spring. Around $400-450. The Graco sprayers work really well for the average DIY painters. You just have to pair the correct tip size with whatever material you're working with. Also, make sure you flush it out immediately after you're done or if you're waiting for paint to dry between coats. A wet rag wrapped around the spray gun or putting the gun in a bucket of water will buy you some time, but don't do that for more than 15 or so minutes depending on outside temps ect.

    The Graco's have garden hose connection for flushing, so that makes cleanup super easy.

    If you want a professional sprayer I'd recommend Titan sprayers. Those are going to be about $1000 from Sherwin Williams, but they're way more than you need for the mentioned projects. Finally, mask everything you don't want over spray on and I mean everything. :thumbsup:

    Scratches, trim nail holes, etc. I’m using it to fill the trim nail holes.

    Can confirm. One of the tools for those very final touches to get top dollar selling a house. The wood tone pens with 8 colors are sweet as well.

    Recessed outlet installed down low where the vanity will plug in. Also installed new quarter turn angle stops for the sink, upped from 3/8 to 1/2" output, but I doubt CA will "let" me install a faucet that can take advantage of the add'l gpm rate.

    Some faucets and shower heads can be "modified" to take advantage of the higher gpm flow rates. On my delta shower head I used needle nose pliers to pull the plastic restricter out. It works great now. :rofl:

    My Delta rain shower had to be delivered to friends in Phoenix & brought to me on their vacation. I think it's more than a mesh filter in this case, since there was a price & model # difference.
