would have kicked the cat as soon as I walked in the door but the little puke must have seen bad intent on my face so went smoking around the corner clear of me ;D
Here in "sunny" connecticut it has been anything but ! This entire summer has been one miserable rainy day after another and even when the sun comes out the threat is still there which makes performing certain tasks as impossible as me flying bare naked solo without mechanical assistance.
Pigs may fly but rick don't
So TWO WEEKS AGO I power wash this womans deck in preparation to painting it knowing she has a gathering coming and it is to be deckside so time is limited,and also realising the wood is now wide open from the power wash needs a couple of days drying time (or the stain will blister and then peel later) have been jumping on it a piece at a time instead of slamming the prick and having done with it
Anyway.I do all the stringers and steps today,it is 90F and HOT SUNNY,i finish and what hapens ?
The fkn skies get dark and within seconds the damn clouds open up on my fkn wet stain is what !
I am standing there watching the actual pigments separate and the colors run straight down onto the fkn stone patio and there is not a damn thing I can do to stop it
I'm freaking out knowing my insurance can not take a $10K hit,standing in the downpour like a fkn idiot watching this womans patio turn blue-gray,not part of the plan ;D
so long story short i spent FOUR FKN HOURS hosing down the patio so the paint did not have time to settle and set up and the entire freakin day is a fkn WASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where's that GD Cat..............................
