There's a story for everything,
isn't there?
My sweet Alana/Lulu and I
were outside on the porch.
It was so hot that we decided to
step inside and sit at the kitchen table.
About five minutes later,
as we were sitting there, we heard a
LOUD POP!
It sounded like someone had run into
the side of our building.
We looked out the window and
couldn't see anything.
I stepped outside to inspect
and found a paint can that had
EXPLODED IN THE HOT SUN!
Seriously?
I mean, I know it says that
CONTENTS ARE COMBUSTIBLE
but--really? REALLY?
Yep!
Kinda scary to think we could have
gotten plastered with
hot spray paint if we had
still been out there!
After inspecting the damage,
I was able to scrape the paint off
the window.
However, the screen is ruined,
of course.
I called the manufacturer to see how
to get Verde Green paint off brick.
Well, sadly, this is not normal paint.
No, indeedy.
This is paint with 'stone' mixed in it.
So--what can I do to cover up
THIS MESS,
I ask myself.
My smarter self answered.
Well, dummy....you got a door, you know.
Yep I do have one ugly door.
I also have a mirror and my son
has an old porcelain doorknob.
TA DA-
Nope! It still has a door knocker that I need to attach
and I think it needs a sweet wreath,
don't you?
I should have waited for a final finished project
but I have been away so long
that I wanted to touch base
before I forget how to blog and use
BeFunky! (Photo Editor)-love it-
AND-
Just for your viewing pleasure,
this is what Verde Green Paint
looks like on brick and soffit and trim.
window trim and that will have to be touched up.
Oh-and the porch 'floor', too.
Lest you are wondering,
I returned the other
FIVE CANS of VERDE GREEN
to Home Depot.
And that, my friends,
is the story for today.
