A beautiful day, sun shining and very hot! Painting clothes on once again we arrived at the farm ready to work and hopefully complete the majority of the painting. As planned the painting crew and plumbing crew started work immediately.
We were finishing up a first coat of the coloured paint over the primer and the second coat in the first room. The paint in the buckets was quickly running out … Andrew (contractor working on the building of the other house) was on his way with more. Whew the last little bit of paint was used up and we could see Andrew on the horizon arriving with more. As we pried open the bucket to our surprise … the paint was a salmon colour. It didn’t match the taupe we were painting.
Off to the paint store to see what could be done. After a few hours of searching the true problem came to light … there was no pigment left and there was uncertainty as to when the next shipment would come. Unlike Canada this does not mean you can just run to another paint store nope, the painting instead is on hold until more arrives. We had managed to get the exterior and the rooms first colour coat completed so although it could use one more coat it still all looks great.
Onwards to the next plan … desks to fix and varnish.
