Last week, I bought some Home Depot stuff for my cousin's wedding gift. One item was a Purdy paint brush for $15.00. It took me years to learn the value of a proper brush.

LOL! Me too. Painters say, "don't skimp on the paint or your brush." I just painted our two-story house with two Purdy brushes. This time around I learned the value of a paint brush cleaning comb, a ladder stabilizer, and ladder equalizers.

I watch the pros and try to do what they do. They have a lot more experience than me.

I just used that brush last week. I've had it for five years and probably cleaned it (with a paint comb) 150 times. The bristles are nearly perfect.

That equalizer is pretty cool. I've never seen that innovation.
