He's the painter. I can tell by the way he stirred the paint with the roller's extension pole at around the 11 minute mark

I can't believe you watched that far. I couldn't take it. It's like watching grass grow.

My guess is that he learned his building skills from inspecting the neighbors work.

They were. Now they're not.
Mahindra Pickup Failure Shows Difficulty of Launching New Brands in the U.S. | Car and Driver Blog

Too bad, I was looking foward to checking them out. I can't say I would buy one, but the idea appeals to me. A low(er) cost, small, no frills, possibly diesel, pickup truck.

My first brand spanky new vehicle was a '77 Datsun pickup. I wish we could still buy a pickup of that size. The segment doesn't exist anymore.

"Mahindra had to give up on satisfying NHTSA and the EPA. We may be the country that invented the double down, and a place where the Ford F-150 is the top-selling vehicle, but the U.S. government has among the most stringent emissions and safety standards for vehicles in the world."


Nice lookin truck.
