The Summer 'Fun' Files (Part 3- Days 6 & 7)

Wednesday

What on Earth are we doing to ourselves? Not only did we get a workout by spending the day painting our house but we also went to the gym/pool!

As we had been to the gym/pool, we did not really get going on the house until 10.30 ish. We also finished earlier than normal so the blind side of the house still does not look as if we have done much to it. However, we finished the prep work today as we washed the paintwork down and primed it. Tomorrow is an exciting day as we can apply the first top coat!

Thursday

No morning exercise today as we made an early start and applied the first topcoat to the blindside of the house before the sun swung round. It was just as well we did as the sun was scorching and a norwester was blowing (that means a hot day). It was hot, tiring work today so a late lunch, admiring our handiwork, was washed down with a longneck (a 750 ml bottle) of Speight's.

We also made some progress on two other sides of the house by applying moss & mould killer to one side and washing it off the rear side. We are both feeling quite satisfied with today's efforts and it's good to see some definite progress!
