Mrs. Harley did a great job on the base, glaze, and blending selection...

You are suppose to patch the holes in the wall before you paint.

Looks awesome. I have some serious landscaping to do in the next week.

Blue is an underrated interior color. I like it.

My list shrinks, thanks to a handy father-in-law who enjoys projects. New handrail added, new pergola this summer, etc. I get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Taking @Big Fin's advice for once on hiring it done.

Like that blue! I've got most things wrapped up last one is to close and cover the pool by the end of the month. Then to Wyoming for 16 days of chasing elk!

I know closing the pool is supposed to be easy but I always pay someone to do it. I had the filter freeze one year because the guy forgot to take a plug out, pool company covered replacement. Better him than me. I'm getting ours closed about 10 days before I head to Wyoming.

I’m feeling this all this year. My pickup goes in for all new tires tomorrow too!

…nothing like waiting for the last minute. My season starts with sandhill cranes around home this weekend!

I’m still trying to complete summer project #2 from 2 months ago. Family/kids obligations are high. I’m at the point where the projects don’t happen at all, I skip hunting season, or I contract everything out. My wife is all for the last option. Just kills me to pay someone to do something I am perfectly capable of doing myself

I really like that application. Is that a glaze or a venetian plaster type thing?

Definitely not SW ProMar 200 on a level 4 wall. If you know what I mean.

I spent the past weekend landscaping and getting the backyard finished to pull the camper through the big double gate for its winter parking spot so that I'm able to go spend this coming weekend chasing Hank

My wife has been after me to paint our house. Finally got it mostly done after picking away at it off and on for a few weeks. Add in new exterior light fixtures, new screen door, new door handles and new screens to the windows.
Now she wants me to add a porch to the front and start landscaping brick. I had to draw the line and tell her that stuff will have to wait until spring. I’m leaving for Wyoming Sept28

Dark/almost black glaze over a lighter shade w/rag rub to highlight...my guys matched the wife's sample perfectly only she used a sponge in lieu of cloth. Went right over the original dash & knock down. Sorta gives it a blue suede shoe look.

And yes, Know what you mean.

I dig it. But don't tell my wife that or I'd have a new winter project.
