Progress
Now a warning?!
I noticed this on the side of the house yesterday. I had never noticed it before, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. I’m incredibly unobservant. If I were a witness to a crime, they’d never catch the guy (or girl). Not that I’d notice.
Rob was over working on the floor, and he hadn’t noticed it, either. But he did notice that one of the boards on the side of the house was rotten. It probably has something to do with the outdoor shower. Or maybe that’s what the house was telling us to be afraid of. Even if it can’t spell. It’s not surprising that such a quirky house doesn’t know how to spell. What else would you expect of a place whose light switches say “NO” when they’re on?
Here you can see the damage and the board Rob is going to use to repair it:
But it will have to wait until the floor is finished. It’s been a much bigger (and longer) deal than I expected. The filler had to set, then be sanded, then primer was applied, then more filler:
You can see the tape line between the old and the new. After the foyer is done, the bathroom is next. The picture certainly makes the green look much less acidic lime than it is in real life.
Next Rob will sand the latest filler and then prime again. Then it will finally be time for the floor paint, which I will not be allowed to walk on for 24 hours. Maybe more. It’s all up to Rob. When he does something, he does it right.
