article: Painting can get a little messy. If you're working in an area where wet paint may be an issue, set up protections before starting. You can place painter's tape over areas you wish to protect. Set a plastic tarp on the ground to protect flooring. Painter's tape works very well when you're painting near a wall, for instance. You may have a pine wall or trim. Lay strips of tape around the pine for protection. Painter's tape and tarp are available online and at most hardware stores. These locations also have anything else you may need to paint pine. There are several hazards to be aware of during the painting process. If you're wearing a dust mask, you can protect yourself from wood dust, paint chips, and paint fumes. If possible, work outdoors or in an otherwise ventilated area. Open up nearby doors and windows. Keep other people and pets out of the area until you're done working. If you're working with a piece of pine that has been painted in the past, check it over for loose paint chips or cracks. Then, hold the edge of the knife roughly parallel to the wood. Push down with a gentle but firm amount of pressure as you move the knife across it. You do not have to remove any paint that isn't cracked or loose. Work in different directions to get the knife underneath the paint. It can be difficult to remove and often requires a couple of attempts. Be careful when scraping paint. You could gouge the wood if you push too hard against it. Damaged spots have to be filled in with something solid, such as a paintable wood filler. To apply it, pick some of it up with the tip of a putty knife. Press it as deep as you can into the damaged portion of the wood. Keep spreading more filler until the repaired spot is slightly higher than the surrounding wood. The filler will get worn down while you're sanding, so make sure you add a little more of it than you think you need. If you don't use enough, it won't blend in well with the rest of the wood. You can also use some other types of paintable filler. For example, mix resin for a stronger way to fill holes more than 18in (0.32cm) deep. It is made by mixing equal parts resin and hardener. To make sanding easier, make use of an electric sander. It can be a very slow process if you do it by hand, especially on larger projects. Work along the grain, or in the direction of the visible wood fibers you can see on each pine board. You can sand by hand if you don't have an electric sander. Get sandpaper or a sanding block. Press it against the wood with firm but consistent pressure. Always sand in the direction of the grain. If you go against the grain, you will end up tearing the wood fibers, creating very noticeable scratches. Move the tack cloth along the grain, starting at the top of the wood. Since it is sticky, it will pick up all the loose sawdust and other debris. Rub down the entire piece of pine and then check it for anything you missed. If you don't have a tack cloth, scrub the wood with a microfiber cloth lightly dampened in lukewarm water. Use an electric sander again to make the process much quicker. Go back over the entire piece of pine, following along the grain. Make sure you have sanded the entire area you wish to paint. Sanding roughs up the wood so paint adheres to it better. You can sand the wood by hand if you wish. You may need to in order to treat spaces that are hard to reach with an electric sander. Sandpaper grits above 120 are finer and can also be used. Lower-grit sandpaper is coarser and could damage the finish at this point. Since you sanded the wood a second time, it will have more sawdust on it. Take care of it so it doesn't affect the finish later. Make sure the wood looks completely clean before attempting to paint it. Any debris left on the wood could prevent the paint from adhering correctly, so take plenty of time to clean it. Try to paint it as soon as possible before more dust has a chance to settle on it. If you can't paint the wood right away, store it, then wipe it clean again right before painting it.

article:
Set the bottom of the window in first and lift the rest of the window up into place. To secure the window, butt the exterior window frame up against the opening blind stops. Do this from the interior wall side, and take care not to push the window clear out the other side of the wall. Make sure that the sashes are still locked when you set the window in place. The replacement window may not sit flat in the window hole as once you've set it in place. To determine if it's level, set a level on the top of the lower sash and look to see if the indicator bubble floats to the center of the tube. Even if the window looks level, it may be off-kilter to a very slight degree. If you don't have a level, purchase one at a local hardware store. The tool resembles a metal bar that's roughly 18 inches (46cm) long. Shims are nearly flat pieces of wood that slightly raise the level of one side of the window. If the installed window doesn't cleanly open and close or if it's not level, place 1 shim at a time beneath the low side to raise it up. To secure the frame, also place shims at the middle of the frame and at the middle of the top and bottom sashes. Once the shims are in place and the window is square and opens and closes smoothly, snap off the shim stems. This will prevent the frame from becoming warped when you tighten the screws through the window and into the frame. Place shims directly behind the jamb where each screw will be inserted. When you insert the screws, they'll pass directly through the shims. If the ends of the shims stick out once you've screwed the window into place, snap them off.
