I have decided that doing trim work is the reason that painters drink
......and houses like mine are the reason that some of them become drunks.
I love to paint, and I especially love trim work. I have painted my house, inside and out, many times over the years -- I tend to paint the main house a color that can last 6 or 7 years, but I change trim color on my house at least every 3 years.

I have a Gladys Kravitz neighbor who has been in the neighborhood for 30 years, and she gets really angry with me when I change colors.

I normally like to paint, but I was doing my daughter's room, and discovered all the walls are warped, and the paint colors bled through the tape. Now I know how the little crooked man must have felt living in that little crooked house.
My neighbors would probably sing and dance if I painted the outside of my house.....and I can do all of it except the trim and eaves because that would require a tall ladder, and I'm too clumsy for that.

Oh, I am too. In fact, my youngest son has now forbade me to ever paint our house again. He told me my days of Gumby bones are over.
