Go to the paint store for some custom, Black Green oil based enamel and come home to,no power.
Just gets me going,and gotta say,in a good way. Heck,30+ years ago I built half my house with "no power". Folks have gotten so used to being on the teat that they can't leave home without say,a cellphone. Which,I did leave at home this a.m. to go get coffee and paint.
My wife calls our insurance guy,"knob polisher".... this coming from the mildest,wouldn't say sh*t for a bucket full. But she's right. Me and "knob" had a discussion 20 sumthin years ago that amounts to the same as above.... told him I was about 2 minutes from self insuring after State Farm screwed us over on the only claim we ever had. It was right after Katrina and the insurance biz was reeling.... to the point of denying claims. Lightning blew a large trashcan sized hole in our roof. And yes,I took it all the way to the top,complaining. Will stop there cause there ain't enough expletives for even this redneck on my opinion of "knob" and the industry as a whole.
So,no power?....uhhh. Bunch of wankers. I'm painting outside. There's enough light flooding in,honest to goodness windows that I can reload. Get bored with any of that? I'll go kill something down in the woods. Bad arse,$$$ propane logset I gave wifeypoo last year works too. Heck,our wood furnace will work,albeit at 1/2 burn with no power.
Just killing time.... did the prep work on the porch roof and wiped her down with MS. Waiting for it to evap and it's paint time.
