We had a long day of it. Starting out with a good karate workout in the dark morning hours, then Sue joined in for a workout on our office building. Sue managed to get the paint, the super heavy buckets and all, loaded into the back of the car as I started the set up. Sue went ahead and started masking while I got some paint on the walls with the new airless paint sprayer. It worked like a charm, much better than the old one I had years ago. The best feature was the cleanable tip. It swivels around when something gets clogged so you can spray paint through it backwards, then a quick flip back and you are painting again. It used to be a shut down on the job as I got out the wrenches and tried, with all the paint running everywhere, to remove the tip, clear it, and replace it. A very time consuming job. We managed to get the entire building (except for a little clerestory on the back) covered. Today will be some touch up and painting the trim. Simply awesome.
I am a bit stiff from all the exercise but happy with the results. We came home after and crashed in front of the television for a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey before a restless night as my body tried to decompress from the long day….more later..
