– And It Shall Be Done
This ole cowboy had a plan and there was no taking any breaks.
Yesterday Dennis mentioned freshening up the North wall of the potting shed. The Koi pond’s south side is the North side of the potting shed. Once the weather turns warm, Dennis may decide in a heart beat to get the Koi out of the horse tank in the garage and turn them loose in the pond. For several years, after the Koi are in the pond . . . “Oh yeah, we were going to paint first.”
The potting shed is ready to be a part of the Koi pond.
I heard Dennis get up this morning and with one eye cracked, I could see it was still dark out and thus the eye closed for another two hours. When we did meet for coffee in the porch, Dennis had the project all planned. Today the temps were to be 60 – 70 degrees. Exterior painting can be done with temps at minimum of 55 degrees. Dennis had already brushed all the cob webs off of the North wall and after breakfast he would be heading to the lumber yard for paint.
I was told I was to be on hand for supervising. With Dennis balancing a pail of paint while on a ladder that was balanced on two planks on the bottom of the Koi pond, I would have not been anywhere else. I must say, the project went off without a hitch, just like Dennis had anticipated. By 12:30 Noon time, the painting was done. It was then just a matter of washing up the items that were on the potting shed for trim and decorations.
I was encouraged to make a trip into my basement stashes to find some new greenery. I must say, we are way ahead of ourselves this spring. March 16th and the painting that was needed to be done can be checked of the list. We spend a lot of time on the back patio and it will just be so much sweeter having had the potting shed with an update.
