We'll see how it turns out. Good luck tomorrow on the rest of your painting.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-20014115403664464912023-05-21T15:55:43.175+01:002023-05-21T15:55:43.175+01:00I imagine your son was not happy to have his elder...I imagine your son was not happy to have his elderly (I'm sure that's how they see us) father up on scaffolding and yet, I'm sure that when he's your age, he will do the same sort of thing. The other day at work, a patient's family member told me I was too old to do something. WTF! <br />You are a fit man, who walks miles everyday and I'm guessing you're very safety conscious. I like getting a job done too. Both my husband and I were up on a ladder, cleaning gutters, yesterday. <br /><br />I read what Mary had to say about pedophiles, well said.Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313413260127376288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-41818468851396913242023-05-21T15:38:00.040+01:002023-05-21T15:38:00.040+01:00I'd say you certainly had earned them!

Unlike most of my work, where you look back at the end of the day, and wonder if anyone can tell the difference.

I am usually either too lazy or simply not capable to do many of the jobs that can be necessary around a house. When I changed two of the rooms in my flat around back in 2016, or had my bathroom done in 2018, I had (semi)professionals do the work for me, knowing full well that I had neither the knowledge nor the time to do it myself, let alone the physical ability to lug bathroom equipment etc. about.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-69971347833783207112023-05-21T06:45:08.643+01:002023-05-21T06:45:08.643+01:00Well done on the painting and I'm glad to hear...Well done on the painting and I'm glad to hear of the sunscreen application. I have never painted a house, inside or out, but hubby and older daughter poainted the interior of the first home we built here in Adelaide. They did a great job too. When the kids were little I would give them each a four inch brush and a bucket of water to "paint" the house and fence on hot summer days. I tend to paint things like furniture and garden ornaments.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-49516394172707118842023-05-21T03:27:26.399+01:002023-05-21T03:27:26.399+01:00Wow!

I would be so stiff and sore that I wouldn't be able to move. You must be feeling very proud to have accomplished so much.
