Halloween turned
into Thanksgiving and house projects crawled along. Surprisingly, it was warm enough at times
during November to do some outdoor painting. The foundation always provided a great place
to clean paint brushes. With latex
paint, put a little water in a brush-sized can and work the excess paint out on
the cinder blocks.
The result isn’t always
unifying and pleasing to the eye, but it sure gets rid of the paint. This foundation project actually began in the
basement looking for paint to touch up some of the scars on living room walls
and paint for the new sheetrock on the stairway where the handrail went in. The success rate finding the right paint was
50% successful—I found one of two cans with the right color. But, it turned quickly to 0% ,since the inch
of paint in the bottom of the can had turned to silly putty. That led to cleaning out the paint can storage
area. There was quite a bit of exterior
white paint and the weather was nice, so. . . .
Then I ran out of
paint. I will have to buy a quart to
finish, when it gets warm enough again. I don't know where I will go to clean out the brush. Inside, another handrail went up over the stairs coming in from the garage
(currently the only convenient way to get into the house).
And the main entry
way needed weather proof flooring (not to mention an end to a dirt-trap cold air return).
Then it was time
to go be thankful with hostess and host.
Enjoy the nice weather
Check out the livestock
Check out the live trap
Even indulge in a little Black Friday shopping (another live
trap?)
