Starting another painting project

When I got home from work today I had to make a decision. Should I lay on the couch drinking a Diet Coke and eat Halloween candy or go outside and start scraping the machine shed so I can paint it yet this fall? Seriously, the couch gig sounded like such a much better idea with the wind blowing and it cooling down in the afternoon. But to even my surprise I put on a sweatshirt and some gloves and headed outside. I was really glad the part of the shed that I wanted to work on was out of the wind, so it wasn’t too bad. I’m a little concerned that I might have lost some of my nerve when it gets windy and your ladder starts to blow sideways. But luckily I didn’t have that problem at all today. So after I find my new scrapper and trusty extension ladder  – I was in business. Now there are a lot of things that I am not good at, but honestly I can scrape a building like the best of them! It’s just too bad that it’s not a good paying job right? And I must say that I like to do this work in tank tops, shorts, and flip flops much better than the wardrobe attire that I had on tonight. I had a scarf to keep my hair somewhat under control, sweatshirt, crop thick pants, socks, shoes, and gloves. Yea, not a pretty sight but I was warm. Now that this part of the machine shed is ready to paint, I’m hoping that the weather cooperates and I can get it done yet this week.
