1:1 Urban Terrain Touch Up
Having such a great time playtesting a Napoleonics game yesterday, I had to pay for my sins by painting some 1:1 Urban Terrain. Mostly repainting trim; which made me think how "Old School" this is. If this were vinyl siding, this time-consuming, and somewhat awkward, task would be negated. Next time, I might try the Dip method.
Anyway, this gets me a pass to get some dim sum and roast duck later today.

I have to add a second coat to our deck beams. Fortunately, I don't have to scale any roof-tops!

ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that bad - with the wife helping (actually painting all the lower portions of the trim), we were done with most of the front portion of the house in 2 hours. We started at about 9:00am and were cleaning up around 11:00am. The idea was to get the side with shade before the sun moved over it. Dean

ReplyDeleteBeing a licensed workplace health and safety inspector I will have to view these pictures with my eyes mostly closed..... mostly. :-)
Isn't house maintenance just the most fun you can have?
I agree - the project was undertaken without much...shall we say, pre-planning. We'll hire some professionals next time. My older brother and I repainted an entire home in Hawaii by ourselves once - but that was about 14 years ago (14 years younger that is).
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right - it really put home ownership and upkeep in perspective. Dean
hehehe mine needs painting on the outside, whats your brother doing lately? I ended the pleas from she who must be restrained to paint it by simply stating I could find a much easier way to break my neck if that is what she wanted and handed her the phone book, "look under P."
ReplyDeleteI don't mind painting so much but I've seen some bad accidents from falls that really were from far lesser heights. Guess I'm getting older and I dont seem to bounce like I used to, more a thup sound.
You're right about the dangers - when I was up there, it occurred to me that I had two uncles (different sides of the family) who had bad accidents while doing chores up high. One was redoing his roof & the other was on a ladders (age 80-plus!) trimming a tree. Dean
