Peoria, AZ
Finally.
I'm sure you're as tired of hearing about the paint job for the house as much as I am in doing it. Well, we wrapped it up today. I was able to sand off most of the rough edges on the patio woodwork after investing a few bucks in an angle grinder with a sanding disc adapter. It's amazing what 11,000 RPM and a 36-grit disc (or is it disk?) can do. A rainy day or two, a day of drying out, a coat of primer, and it was time to paint. Yesterday, I did all the masking (windows and trim) and sprayed on the first coat. Today, I was able to get an early start, get the second coat on, get the masking off, and touch up the trim in a few places. Boy, does it feel good to have this one in the "done" column!
In other news, we had a short visit from Rod & Jean, friends we traveled to Alaska with last summer. They were on their way from Nevada to Casa Grande, AZ, where they have bought a new "stick house". They'll go from being "full-timers" to "most-timers" like us, "nesting" in the winter and traveling in their motorhome in the summer. They made the quick stop in order to pick up a power washer that we "sold" to Bob & Marlene (the other Alaska couple) last year but didn't get around to delivering.
And, speaking of selling stuff, much of the rest of the eBay listings I made earlier in the month actually sold, so we've had a variety of trips to the Post Office as well.
The back yard, with the house and a fresh coat of paint - and
nobody on the roof this time...
