The Positive and the Negative...

Let's get the negative out of the way....

As stated yesterday.. I. HATE. HOUSE. PAINTING.

We started out with the primer.. the King has this

fancy dancey sprayer that he just had to have...4 years

ago.  We finally got it out of the box... and started

with pouring the primer (oil base) into the filter.

Well, first he poured a little into this funnel thingie.

Then he filled up the can, attached sprayer.. and off

he went. Well, not quite. He sprayed back and forth.

It was not spraying primer.

So when things don't go right.. you read the directions,

right?  But I thought he knew how to do it.. as he watch

the video, he got with the sprayer, the day before. But

we had a problem...so open booklet.  sure enough

there is the little funnel and primer going thru. BUT..

they counted to 60.  So I asked the King when he did

it ...did he count....nooooooo. why count?  It is just to

see if it goes thru.. Nope it isn't. You have to find out

how fast. He did it again, and I counted to 60...and 70

and 80 and 90... it is too thick.  Add thinner...

2 hours later, one brush later, two cans of primer which

is only a quart.. we had one wall done.

NOTE TO SELF.. TODAY.. rent commercial sprayer.

On the positive side... here is the greenhouse that

the King is building on top of the raised garden. It

looks pretty neat.. it is 85% done. We have doors

for it and a fan. Then we should be ready to go.

He has some plants put in... The straw bales are

hanging in there so far. not real impressed though.

Have a nice day.. it is suppose to be 80's today.
