Well, it’s 11:45 pm and I just got inside from putting an undercoat on all the steel posts on our front stairs. Do you want to know what it started to do as I was cleaning up the paint brush?

It started to rain!!!

I guess it figures that would happen with all the luck that we are having with our house, but it is still frustrating.

So why was I painting this late at night anyways?

1. It was cooler then in the day. That is relative though as it was still about 28C (83F), but cooler then the day and no chance of sun burn.
2. Tamara and I watched “March of the Penguins” while the kids napped in the afternoon, which is my usual time for working on the house.
3. It just needed to get done.

The centre flight of stairs is still not actually complete, but I think that if I wait until the builder actually gets that up to council regulations then I will be waiting for a very long time…
