NO SAWDUST TODAY

Post by dusty »

Those are the orders from the "head shed".

The interior, including my shop, painting was completed a few weeks ago. This week (today and tomorrow) the exterior of the house and the cinder block walls are being painted.

This used to be a week to week and a half task that I did. What was I thinking. For just a few bucks, I get to sit and watch.

I wish I had thought of that BUT I don't think she'll work that cheap. Having been a CFO she thinks she is worth more than cheap labor. I've been appointed to that position by the COO.

We've hired out a few jobs around the house I always feel terribly guilty when someone else is working on the house and I'm not. That said, we hired a painter to do the upstairs during a recent remodel and the results are inifinetely better than I could have done.

I'm done painting for life. Enjoy it and pat yourself on the back for a job well done, I meand paid for :D
Thanks much,

Chris Phelps
