...deck painting...

...this weeks progress...painting the deck...not so good...

...y'all know how I had planned to spend an hour each day painting...well...that didn't work out quite as I had planned...

...we had a busy week...and I only wound up working on it one day...and then we had rain all day Friday and it was too cold on Saturday and Sunday - the paint says it has to be above 50° F to paint...and we were hovering around that mark so decided not to risk it...
...and the rails...oh my...they take FOREVER to paint...

...I lean over and paint the outside first...I'll paint the joist from below later...with a ladder...

...my neighbor came by while I was painting and we were chatting...and she said I was too much of a perfectionist...haha...
...so one hour = 5 rails and one post painted...maybe I am too much of a perfectionist...HAHA!

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week...

  2. Trouble is, if one rushes the job, it ends in drips and smears.

  3. can you remove the spindles, paint them, paint the railing, and then put the spindles back up? power-drill? maybe? it would go faster, and you would have less bits to work around . . . just a thought!

    it is going to look so nice when you are done!
