Small Window
I might have a small window this weekend to get a little painting done on the tiny house.
I have been planning this for the last three weekends, but the weather “made” me go cook chili instead. The same for this weekend as well. All the plans were made earlier in the week for Saturday. The help was all lined out and all the materials bought only to be postponed due to the temperature not being above 50 all day.
I should have known this would happen. I should have painted as soon as I could back in the summer instead of waiting till winter to try and paint. It's my fault and only my fault.
This is what happens when you get detracted and do other things instead of finishing what you started first.
The small window I am talking about is Sunday. The high will be 65 degrees, but the wind will be blowing too hard to spray. If I can reschedule and find enough help, then we can go “old school” and all use brushes and rollers to get it done or at least a major part of it done.
The cost for free help could add up if I am not careful.
Lets see, three cases of beer at $65.00, two racks of ribs and chicken quarters at $35.00 and all the sides at about another $40.00. Add in other drinks and snacks for the kids and wives at about $30.00 or so. So the total for free help will be somewhere around $170.00
This may sound like I am complaining, but I am not. To have someone come out and do the work would cost 10 times that amount so I think I am getting off on the cheap, plus I get to see everyone and do some cooking during all this.
Now, I just need to get on the phone and let the family know there is free beer, free food and free paint brushes available on Sunday.
Oh, I promised a picture of the trim on the porch posts I did not like so here it is.
I am not going to trim the posts at all now and just paint them. I think it made them look like a poodle's leg or something.
I will let you know how the weekend turned out,
Jerry
