My original plan was to take all Fridays off in September to work on painting the house – well it’s the last friday in september and I finally took a day to paint (I did take last friday off but it rained).

So today I started by sanding the side of the house that I caulked last weekend.  This took probably 5 hours.

All sanded and swept clean.

Then I proceeded to prime everything (siding and trim).  This also took about 5 hours which had me finishing about 8pm which is well after dark (had some lights set up).  I wouldn’t have painted in the dark but primer I wasn’t worried about and it takes longer to dry than latex paint.  I’d really like to paint tomorrow but first i’ll have to sand the areas that have bugs stuck to them from the lights 🙂

All in all I’m pretty happy with the days’ progress.  I’m sore and tired now however so I’m going to watch the new Bones and get some sleep!
