Short check in to say Hi....I be beat....got 2 coats of paint on the 4 awnings on Barb's trailer...the good news is I was able to do it all from the ground using my extension pole....except for the awning over her front door....the bolts Dad put in the the pole brackets to hold it up have rusted in & no amount of WD40 would loosen them up...so that awning got painted from the back of my truck & in full up position...good thing only the front half of the awning shows from the ground cause that's all that got painted on that one...they look nice...and tomorrow I will go back & put the black stripes on them...ran out of paint just before I finished the first coat so I sent Barb to Home Depot to pick up a gallon for me...I don't know why I thought I could paint all the awnings with only a qt. of paint...she picked up Chick Fil A for lunch while she was out...so a double win for me....now I'm going to stretch out & relax my back & shoulders a little bit...chat with you all a little later...
