fail. So you cannot, you cannot warranty a project like this. I have it disclosed in my bid packet that if there is a condition that you have, there's wax bleed on your house, I cannot guarantee the house. That doesn't mean I won't come back and do touch ups for the next five years, which is my warranty. I will come back with a guarantee that this paint is not going to fail due to a defective sighting. This is an issue with bad sighting, not paint that is bad or the application of the paint. You have to understand that. But if you warranty this, you are possibly going to run into major issues down the road of possibly getting sued in court and happen to pay a lot of money to remedy this and the remedy is not easy. Once you put that paint on this house, you don't disclose to the customer that you have a condition of wax bleed here. If they discover it, it's on you, it's your responsibility because you didn't notify them and you didn't notify them about the process you need to go through to paint it and that you can never warranty it. So I've painted a lot of houses in this valley and I've done them up to probably 10 to 12 years ago and I've only got a call back on a few of them to do touch ups where the paint was peeling off. If you do it right, the paint's going to last but if you do it wrong, it could be a big, big problem. If you just put paint right over the top of this without priming, you could take a power washer to it and the paint could just come flying right off. So one thing you can do, if you're really unsure, be for painting it,
