The painting got underway midafternoon…he first did some sanding outside and then came in and got underway with the painting. I told him that I was going to post a before and after photo of today's progress. He said to be sure to say that he isn’t done yet. He plans to come back tomorrow afternoon and do the second coat. He probably won't get underway with the outside of the door and the porch railing until next week…for one thing the weather will be warmer. The lighting is strange on the door…I think that the lighting on the stairway is lighting up the bottom of the door…it really is all the same color.
Note that I mention that the weather will be warmer next week…we had a drastic drop in temperatures since yesterday…80s yesterday…76° this morning when I went to the grocery store…dropping into the 60s by lunch time and currently is 56° and the overnight low is supposed to be 46°. Now to get acclimated to what we have been wishing for…cooler temperatures! Next week highs are supposed to be in the 70s so better painting temperatures than today or tomorrow.
I am just happy that painting is underway! My living room is beginning to look right again with the taupe color back on the front door insert. The other side of the door will be blue and the rest of the panel surrounding the panel a pretty color called French Pastry. I like the name of that paint color. Sometimes I am influenced by the name of the paint when I am choosing! But that color came very close to matching the siding on our house…or at least I hope it does when there is more than a paint brush width on the panel!
I grocery shopped and went to the Credit Union this morning. Early this morning and then while my handyman was here, I worked on getting the Sunday School lesson finalized. And, it is very close to done…so that is a good accomplishment for the day.
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
