Paint and Puddles

All week stuck inside behind my computer screen the sun beat down…perfect painting weather!

I can’t understand how the weather forecasters are finally getting it right! A weather forecast of fine weather used to mean Rain, and thunderstorms probably meant it would be sunny!

Saturday’s forecast said a 60% chance of rain at 2.pm and that’s what we got!

That meant the morning was the only time for outside work, which are all my jobs as leaving the inside to the experts!

I had to drive down as the bag of sand was a little heavy to carry the 600meters! My first job was digging, leveling, filling with sand,compacting and throwing a couple of heavy pavers on top making a pad for the heat pump motor thing!

All relatively simple, but under house, on hands and knees with a meter height restriction added a little more complexity (and agility)

Then it was off for kitchen/bathroom supplies for both Dan and I, and of course Floyd…

Battling Saturday shopping traffic is almost worse than workdays, first stop McDonald’s breakky!

Last stop at Bunnings on the way home around 1pm for some more paint (I swear a big expense of renovating are the bunnings trips as an extra brush, roller, drop sheet usually gets thrown in for good measure).

And yes it rained, but that doesn’t deter a gal on a mission!

One uses what nature (or in this case man) has provided…Eaves and the sheltered west side! Good to know wet drop sheets still contain the paint!

Yoga workout exhausted by 5pm and a few patches sporting the colour of choice. When your house has a backdrop of trees the green is obsolete!

Back to the cottage for showers, dinner and preparation for the 3rd All Blacks (rugby) test!

And it’s Halloween, killing three birds with one stone! Skincare, rugby support and a face to scare the children who come knocking for sweets!

The rain has passed and Sunday morning is presenting a great painting day! It is back into it for me and maybe a helping hand! But first a coffee!
