Ahhhh....back to the blog.
Weird day. First day to use all four lifts, and it took a little while to get going. Recruited Edwin to drive #4, while Loralei was more than happy to drive #3. We only painted for a coupleof hours before the rains came in. I thought that we would be dry until at least the afternoon, but down it came. I thought that maybe we could wait until after lunch to see what the weather would hold, but a lot of folks just took off, figuring that the day was done. After lunch, I recruited Kim, Loralei, Damon and Mickie to go and paint some seams. Got the sprayer up and running, got one of the lifts, and went to the last wall. Huge wall. Probably 50'. Tallest one here. So five of su got most of the last wall ready to paint. I say almost, beause the sprayer conked out before we finished.
Speaking of walls, you need to check out the pictures of proof of a little visitor that we had while painting. Strangest thing I've ever seen!
Cool compliments from almost everyone we've talked to. All telling us that what we have done is"maaaaaahhhvelous". In fact, was talking to a girl behid the counter at a local gas station, and she said that she liked the small walls a lot better than the big ones The guy behind me agreed, saying that he KNEW that we spent a lot of time on the walls, especially carving out the mortar joints on the stone walls. I told him that they were simply painted, not real. He was blown away, saying that he been in the building industry for years, but those parapet walls .
OK. I've typed the last paragraph about six times. It's time for bed.

End of a run, another wall finished, well-earned break deserved. Regardless of where you are at the time.
Looking up at the top of the wall, it looked kinda weird to see this stick hanging off of the top. Wait...a...minute. That's no stick!
Not a stick, huh? I have no clue what this thing was doing hanging over the wall, 50' up, other than just looking at traffic and wishing it had arms to drive a semi. Almost put a roller in it's mouth, this thing was big enough to hold it.
Kim is handy to have around the house.. Sprayer conks out, and who better to repair it? She and Loralei did a fabulous job.
Thought that you'd like to see how we utilized four lifts instead of two. Worked like a charm. Let me tell you: we did some rolling.
