This Old House #10

Spent much of the weekend painting. Keep admiring the attention to detail that C. puts on his work. And I learned that you cannot use porch/concrete paint when the humidity is 87%! It refuses to dry, it runs, and eventually it leaves an effect on the surface not unlike that of expensive Chinese porcelans fired with that dark green runny glaze! If on the other hand, you apply it on a day with 48% humidity, it'll dry in a matter of minutes.

C. tells me that he plans to be done by the 27th. And for my money, it's been a project well worth the wait.
