NOT YOUR NORMAL BEFORE AND AFTER-DID YOU EXPECT NORMAL FROM ME?

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-

This door is placed right over

the paint on the brick and 

attached to the brick wall.

Ir's not done yet~

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.

I still have to scrape the soffit and 

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.
