And then there was paint.

My husband says he’s done with the shed extension for this year.

And as hard as I’ve lobbied to truly finish it with a third wall/door, my pleas are falling on deaf ears and I shall have to live with (though not quietly I assure you) a tarp that covers the open end all winter.

Grrr.

But that doesn’t mean I have to live with raw wood so I matched the old color as well as I could and got to work.

My husband doesn’t paint.

Or stain.

Ever.

But that’s fine, I don’t mind doing my part.

Though I do end up wearing almost as much as whatever structure I’m painting.

There.

At least it looks little better…

Though I’m still going to ride my spouse to put a trim post on the unfinished rear right edge.

Big barn, little barn.

The color match isn’t perfect, but it will do until I can put an another coat on the whole building next spring.

Trim and a roof.

Back at the shed extension project, some trim was added.

And oddly added at that.

And even though the third wall/door hadn’t been figured out, work moved to the roof.

Where my too cheap to buy more husband used part tar paper, part leftover ice and water shield.

He kills me that way.

The man thinks nothing of dropping $200 for dinner, but balks at buying a last roll of tar paper or another full piece of wood when leftovers will do.

Whatever.

This is where the third wall should go… except the raison d’etre for the extension is rolling the antique carriage under cover so my husband wants to leave it open. I’m lobbying for some type of large door but with the roof angled for rain and the side of the existing building so clearly off square I’m meeting a lot of resistance.
