Remeber the house-painting job I started back in December? Well it got as far as the primer paint and then the unseasonably rainy weather set in. Feburary was one of the wettest on record for these parts. In fact since new years we have hardly had 3 days in a stretch without heavy rain. So the painting has been on hold waiting for things to dry out enough to continue.
As of today it has been four days since it rained here. The forcast for the weekend is good, so its all systems go again. I went to town this morning and bought 10 litres of 'gunmetal' grey paint, some masking tape, and a really big brush. The grey is for the main colour and the windows and sills will probably be 'field of wheat' which is a nice sunny terracotta shade. I know 'gunmetal' grey sounds morbid but I choose it because it is the same colour as the river stones I've used as garden borders (which I got from the river that runs right past the front of my house). It should compliment the surronds quite nicely.
Anyway, enough chit-chat. I must away and start painting! I'll post photos of the progress later.
