Casa (half) Blanca.

It was pretty dang cold when I woke up this morning, but very pretty. I started with some more organizing around the house and yard. My dad came and he worked on tile while we waited for it to warm up some. I went up to Franklin to get the man lift. It was actually cheaper than the website said, which was a pleasant surprise. It towed pretty easily back to the farm. Last night at TSC I bought a couple of things for my tractor that I thought would enable me to pull the lift around the house, but they didn’t. So I returned to TSC and bought something better. That helped me move it around to the side. The painting finally started around two. We actually didn’t use the lift, but instead focused on the lower portions using the shorter ladders. We started on the far end since it is the least visible and I wanted to practice. I wasn’t at all happy with how the gun was spraying, so I swapped tips. That didn’t help at all, so I adjusted my technique a bit, which did lead to some improvement. We sprayed nearly ten gallons. I am a little nervous because we painted until nearly dark an once the sun set it started to cool down pretty quickly. I hope that the paint will dry okay. After cleaning up, which was horrible, my dad left and I drove into town. Unfortunately Lowe’s didn’t have the paint I needed so I went up to Spring Hill. I bought 15 more gallons then went to Home Depot for drip edge. Back at the house I got in bed! Hopefully tomorrow will be a productive day. Everybody is coming here for a Thanksgiving picnic, which will take a chunk of prime work time. It is supposed to be sunny and even warmer tomorrow. I will try to get up on the lift.
