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?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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…
