We now have new paint on THREE sides of the house. Terry has still been finishing up the East side, but I ventured to new territory. Brendan helped yesterday and cleaned/moved some stuff from the North side of the house.
We also had a minor mishap and Brendan acquired a new hole in his head. :( He and Terry were going to put up some trim with the air gun. The hose came off the compressor, recoiled, and hit Brendan in the back of the head. Head wounds bleed rather profusely, but the wound was very small - so no hospital visit required! He had a headache for a little while, but later on was able to help again.
We were so tired by the end of daylight. The last little while we painted by troublelight again. I really am surprised men in little white jackets don't show up! We got our tools cleaned up and cleaned up ourselves. Chad's job is at Margo's Vienna Station, so we called and ordered supper from him to bring home. We practically mauled him when he came through the door ... we were famished!!
We gained an hour today with the clocks being set back an hour. Terry thinks it's an extra hour of sleep ... I informed him he was sadly mistaken and it's an extra hour of painting! I know, I know ... the number of daylight hours is the same.
Hopefully today we will be able to get the 1x2s and window frames back on. I will concentrate on the North side of the house and finish scraping and maybe get that side done. The weather is suppose to be beautiful.
