The house gets its first coat of paint tomorrow, and I've discovered that I have an odd affinity for scraping paint. John is working up on the ladders, and the shingles below the windows are my job. It's quite satisfying to work the edge of my putty knife under a flake of paint, and work it under until it all flakes off. And I stick to John's ten-second rule: if it doesn't flake off in 10 seconds, leave it alone and move to another spot.At the end of the day, this damaged south exposure doesn't have much paint left!
Satisfaction in a job accomplished.
