I think I lost a few brain cells

 

     When a strange and strong wind went through here a few weeks back, it peeled all the vines off our shed.  The removal of the vines revealed rust on the roof and the sides.  That’s when I realized the shed needed a paint job. 

     One problem, I don’t like to climb ladders any higher than the third step.  Another problem, I have a short reach so painting the shed roof won’t come easy.  The third problem is the color I’d like for the roof only comes in spray paint form.

     The decision, use rust resistant spray paint to paint the shed.  I cleaned the surfaces.  Then I sprayed Rusty Metal Primer on some of the rusted areas.  Not my most brilliant idea, I think I lost a few brain cells.

       Even with a mask, I can’t stand the fumes.  I need someone who will paint for me.  I am attempting to bribe the neighbor’s son to do it.  (He likes climbing ladders it is part of his job.)  If that doesn’t work, I may have to beg.

  1. Don’t you need to have a few active brain cells in order to have them get lost?
    If memory serves…which it rarely does correctly…you lost all the working brain cells many years ago!!!
    He He He
    Girl I could tell stories to back that up…OOPS… so can you I guess… never mind 😛 🙂

    This is what happens when you know someone for 35 years, people. 🙄

    Watch it, Buster you may be a year younger than I am but you are oh so much older that you can’t outrun me. I can always get a ladder and kick your ass.

  2. Isn’t the term Beg, Borrow or Steal? lol Of course, bribery or better yet bartering could come into play here as well. In the meantime, Gavin and Patty probably wonder what’s up with Mommy when she’s acting goofy after being around those paint fumes 😉

    As if their Mom isn’t goofy all the time… 😉

  3. This must be the Chuck you told me about huh? LOL

    Oh, yeah. This is he. 🙂
