Spooky House Painting

Black Magic paint on the house, on me and now, on the camera.   I used a craft foam brush on the house (first primer coat) and the bits of trim.  G is home this morning so he cut the pointy part for the top of the house.  An addition to the trim.  I needed a pointy place for the BAT.  He also cut some more trim which "was harder than I thought it would be".   I think we need a jigsaw.  For our birthday next month.

Today:  library for books, pulled pork to start and let roast in the oven by itself all day long, more house painting,  G's shirts to iron and Cracker "crack" to make for the crew at work.  G already brought the big ladder in the house and opened the skylight shades about 12 inches to let in light.  During the summer it's just too hot letting all that sun in the house.  Open all the way--well, you need sunglasses in the house, even in winter.  These are really, really big skylights. Which would make this room a greenhouse.  What were they thinking when they built this house?????

I'm going to get the pork butt into the oven and start on the interior painting.  I am such a messy painter. And then measure and start cutting the foam shingles.  They are adhesive backed but my daughter says I should still glue them to the house and not "trust" the sticky backing to stay stuck. I wanted to try reusing the shingles on the original house, which took many evenings to cut by hand, but they are firmly stuck to the cardboard.  Too bad.  They are nice shingles.

I had cereal again this morning and am feeling the effects of the excess carbs.  Like having the flu.  I think I will have some fat and protein now.
