I was running low on paint (decanted from the can into a small takeout container) and racing to finish before mosquitoes discovered me so I see this morning that I missed a few small spots. I cleaned the bars on two more windows, one of which really needs Rust-oleum or a comparable rust-prevention paint so they all should probably get it. I'll check with Ace Hardware, they seem to have the brand name and their own line of paint.

Comfortable shoes will be necessary for extended standing on a ladder rung, I need painters tape on the window sill below, and when I finish will need to take a razor to peel spots of paint off of the window. At the moment I seem to have an ant bite on the instep right where most of my shoes make contact. It smarts to put on shoes today.

How's the house coming along, Charmion? Painters still at work? Hopefully the floors are finished.
