Thorondor Posted Saturday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:58 PM There's always something waiting in the wings, isn't there? So, better say "Well, this part's done!" and feel good about it right then an there. And as I mention it, the sense of perspective on the photo you took makes the east wall look the part - it's a considerable expanse to tackle, particularly when multiple coatings of paint need to be applied. One way or another there are lots of man-hours in that there wall staring back at you. So I'd say, beyond having to live with a certain, gradually shifting colour over the years, take your time mulling over what paint is better suited to endure the ravages of nature for longer - it's not just a matter of how soon you'll have to get back to doing it all again, it's that your time is increasingly more valuable in other store-related activities too. Toning down on mandatory repeats of this same task is kind of a must, even if you still feel like a young whippersnapper, ready to cover a thousand more like it!

Zombie Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago Today was very nice out again. I had some other projects I'm currently working on though: greenhouse and cleaning up the small garage. There was a lull in the action in the afternoon so I was able to fill in some more rough spots in the pavement along the greenhouse. You should be able to see the new areas as they are shinier than the other patches: I wouldn't say this area is complete yet as there are a couple areas under the plastic flap that could use filling too. Dunno if I want to tackle that this year anymore, I guess I could if it's really quiet, but come on, that never happens this time of the year. There are a couple other areas I have my eye on that I might do yet, we shall see. Anyhow, I was able to tamp down all my patches again today. Here's what the ones look like by the alley: I think that was quite beneficial actually. Maybe not so much here, but along the greenhouse the patch wasn't super compacted and that extra tamping certainly helped. And the patches blend in color to the rest of the pavement better. Maybe next year I'll seal coat the blacktop in the driveway and along the greenhouse again. Last time I did that was ages ago, so it's time. Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice again, I'll see what I can get done while the weather is cooperating. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
