Saturday - Decent weather.
The neighbor boys came over and we put a coat of good tan paint on the wall, it looks good. I should have prepped the gables, but so it goes.
Friday - Another nice day here. A bit of wind.
The H boys can come by tomorrow, so I'll let them paint. My hands are really aching, but a lot is getting done.
Since the weather remains good I'll probably start on the west side. I never imagined the good weather would last this long, but as long as it does I can keep working.
Until my hands give out.
Thursday - A nice day, not too windy.
I primed the south side finally.
Book #35 would be With the Lightnings, by David Drake. This is the first in a series, free from Baen. I was at the library and picked up a couple of the books in the series, but they didn't have the first book. The series was designed as a deliberate analogy to the Aubrey/Maturin series. It's not nearly as good, but still quite enjoyable.
Wednesday -A bit windy.
I spent some time trying to see if I could find the RAM mirror online. After some hours of research I didn't find anything that really seemed like it was sure to fit - a number of the pieces that the sellers claimed would fit were obviously incorrect, and I had my doubts about many of the others. There were a few aftermarket vendors, with mixed reviews as to their worth. Bah.
Tuesday - Decent weather.
I started priming the worst spots, the lower strakes and the patches where the paint is completely gone. Then I'll prime it all again, to make for a smoother wall, then we'll paint.
The clapboards look much better, but it does make the poor condition of the trim stand out. Bah.
Monday - More nice weather, doing the final bits on the south wall.
I hadn't started the generator in a while, so I hooked it up to a tank and it started on the third pull, and ran flawlessly for a couple of hours.
Sunday - Shopping in the morning. Daylight savings vegan last night.
Even more work on the south wall, patching, cleaning, scraping, prior to priming.
