I’m not sure why putting half the normal tint for a reddish brown exterior paint color would give us a pink colored primer for the first coat, but there ya’ go. Or there we go. Somebody is always going somewhere!
The first coat is on, for the siding and around the windows. I got some of that paint which is a primer/final coat in one for around the windows. It seems to cover well but will need a second coat. And we will probably need two coats of finish paint to eradicate all the pinkness.
That is the famous deck where the squirrel/cone standoff occurred yesterday. That same squirrel was bombing everybody who got close to the large Ponderosa Pine today, with heavy cones. And then he’d yell at us if he missed. Attitude!
We had to remove the light fixture by the door on the outside of the building, so that painting around it could occur properly. The light fixture itself is now on the floor inside the sunroom, waiting to go back up, and the nuts which hold it to the wall were laying inside of the light box cover attached to the light fixture.
That is, they were until Mishkin found them. He’s very good at nosing around things that are new to his environment. When he started picking them up with his teeth (a bad thing on several levels), I moved them to one of the containers under the end table.
"Hmmmm. Could it be in this one?"
You know that shell game with a pea? Well, this is hiding nuts from a pea brain. Very similar to your shell game in most respects.
The look on Mishkin’s face is priceless!!! Also, be very happy your paint wasn’t something called “base”!!!!
