You Have to Get Ready
I know that before you paint, you must get ready for the job. I just don't like to figure getting ready time into the actual working time. So when I decided that I could paint the archway trellis this afternoon, I didn't figure in the getting ready part of the job. I got the stepladder into position and took down the hanging flower pots. Then I started scraping the places where the paint was peeling.
Scraping the peeling paint has to be an important part of painting, but it isn't as much fun as painting. I didn't get to start the painting this afternoon. I just got the paint scraped in several places. If the nice weather continues, I'll perhaps paint tomorrow.
