Good Painting Weather Continues

October 3rd, 2006 at 04:11 am

I've been blessed with another week of sunny weather here in WA state.....so, the painting project continues. I've now got 2 sides of the shed totally finished, but I ran into a swarm of bees under the eaves of the 3rd and 4th sides... So, I had to move on to a different project and wait til sundown to spray the critters.

Spraying finished, many dead bugs on the ground and I'm ready to tackle the last bits of the shed tomorrow. (I think) I've discovered I don't have a ladder type event and I'm just a tad short. So, I've got plans to meet up with mom one day this week and borrow hers.

In the process of playing with the trim color on one of the lower windows, the Navy man got home and decided I wasn't being accurate enough. So, he volunteered to paint the trim if I bought him a little skinny roller. Says he can do all the windows in "a flash". Guess what I'm buying tomorrow? If I finish up the 2 sheds and all their windows, doors and trim.........I'm more than happy to share the window trim job with the Navy.

What looked like a daunting task a couple weeks ago, is now looking so great.....and I can see the end. My outlook towards this house has almost taken a turn around. I'm almost liking the place now! Smile

Didn't have time to spend any money today. Worked all day long, but the place is looking fantastic. Considering how tacky it looked before, anything would be an inprovement..... I can feel the value creeping up!

Finished off the cover letter and have all my ducks in a row for the interview happening on Wed. This will be for the part time position with the new agency that has been awarded the contract with WA state, regarding foster parent recruiting. I know both people I'm interviewing with, although the entire process seems odd since I haven't interviewed/had to present a resume or anything for decades. If I don't get the job, at least I've polished up some skills that had gone totally dormant! Will have to scare up some sort of outfit suitable for an interview, but again, I know both of these women, and have sat in meetings with them frequently....their idea of work attire is pretty attainable with my current wardrobe situation. Think I'll be OK...certainly not going to buy something for this event. Take me, or don't take me.......As Is.

Bottom line is I'm not sure I'm going to take the job if it is offered to me, as no one seems to know the salary or the entire list of duties yet. The preliminary email I got includes tons of responsibilities and no mention of compensation....so I'm not willing to jump up and down yet. Taking a wait & see sort of approach to Wed and the meeting.

Going to go scrape the paint off me and rest up for another day of painting tomorrow.

    Post some pics of the place when you are done sprucing up! Would love to see it! Don't over do it!

    I am curious why you bought a place you did not like?

    Ohh I definately want to see before and after pictures.

    I could see myself buying a house I didn't necessarily like on the outside, if the actual function of the house met what I was going for. After all, if it's just aestetic stuff it's fixable at some point.
