Fallen Tree

We had a tree fall a couple of months ago behind the carport that missed both cars and only minor damage to the roof of the carport.

What happened to my paint color??

While finishing the painting and cleanup at White House, we had a couple of nicks in the paint in the dining room so I got out the paint we had used ( 5 gallons I had mixed from left over beige/cream paint ) and patched them. When they dried, a color difference showed so I had to repaint the entire wall a shade darker than rest of room. I just don't know what happened to the paint color since spring when I painted it the first time.

Wheel of Fortune

You may wonder why I put a picture of Karen decorating the wedding cake, but you will see that she donated that turntable to a project we were planning. One of our renters is sales manager for a call center and needed a "Wheel of Forture" to use in training and motivation for prizes.
First I painted it white.
Then we mounted it on repurposed shelf brackets.
To support it for her desk height, we mounted it on a wooden tabletop after we shortened the legs.

We used monocoat for the red center and red pinstripe (both from Frank's RC supplies ) to mark the divisions on the wheel.
Finished wheel with pegs and flipper. Marcella told us it was a big hit and all departments want to use it.

House repairs in progress

I have decided that I should just post pictures as I do them instead of trying to do a proper blog so here are some pics of house repairs. This is the back of the house painted and with shutters up.
This is the doorway between the kitchen and laundry.
This is the old doorway between the living room and dining room. I had to strip all the old paint.
