This holiday we have been learning how and practicing How To Paint The House. R being a perfectionist, we have to strip every piece of wood naked, prime and paint. Praise God we got a stucco house because everyone would be stark raving crazy if we were doing this to the whole house. It seems that nothing is finished but we have come a long way. We have done about 90% of the garage, which is a good place to practice your painting. We have stripped about 75% of one side of the house, and it is the hard side with the bay window, the recessed window and the two big gables. But NOTHING is actually finished. Everything is partly completed. Both of us are great starters but poor finishers of all sorts of projects, and painting is another one!
However I finished two cushions which have been waiting years for backs and stuffing (I flagged having zips and just sewed them closed - took about an hour each) and fixed the spiderman shirt and the visibility vest and the shopping bag. I love mending - no project too long! Now to label the school uniform...
