After waiting for what has seemed a lifetime, the painter arrived today - and less than 2 and half hours later - left. Ian tells me he has to return - tomorrow? - to do a second coat in a couple of places. I got Ian to photograph him through the kitchen window for all those who will be interested. Sort of like an anti-climax, isn't it? The outside is a wash so Ian will start hosing it down once it is dry but that's satisfying.
He seems fairly robust, round, not fit, for a painter! Still if he finally gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad I've discovered your blog, it's become one of my regular daily reads,
ReplyDeletepleased to see a snap of the painter, was starting to think he was a myth :)
What a sight for sore eyes!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe thought he was a myth, too. He certainly was surly but we are hoping he will indeed return today to do the last bits. Dale
