Revenge of the Sweaty Solstice

Posted: June 21st, 2010 | Filed under: DIY, Landscaping, Our Projects | Tags: | 3 Comments »

Today is the summer solstice…and it’s hot.  We had 2 dry days, then rain, then another 2 dry days…I am ready to pounce.  I stained the area outside the kitchen, let it dry for 2 days, then dragged all the furniture over so I could tackle the next sections.

Things are moving along and the end is in sight….I thought it would take me 2 days to get the floor finished, but I am on track to finish by dinner.  It has been a long afternoon….95 degrees in the shade.

What?!  I’m going to run out of stain?  Nah…I can make it…it will be tight, but I can do it….I HAVE to.

Nope…I’m all set to paint myself into the living room, but noooooooooo…. I run out of stain dammit.  Just in case you think I didn’t try….

Ugh.  Back to the paint store tomorrow…it will probably rain… just to rub it in.

    Dude, that sucks! Always a pain to run out at the last minute.

    Painting the exterior at 100 plus this past week was brutal. Summer heat is making me lazy, and we have no humidity!

    I’m cheering for you. Great post.

    The heat here is stifling. I don’t know how you managed to do that.

    Good grief, I fear certain death every time I step outside with no water in direct sight. How did you do that?!

    Ugh, and I can’t believe you ran out with so little left :(
