Enjoying a large, warm mug of leftover coffee from Mexico mixed with fresh ground from the huge bag of costco Kirkland beans. Plentiful and pretty good. Finally finished the outdoor patio concrete redo. It took weeks and weeks and weeks to get all the old paint off and required an enormous amount of effort. Don't ever paint concrete, except that's what I did, again. I'm hoping they did the right preparation and used the right material this time as promised. It definitely feels like a hearty paint, and they added grit to it like I asked. It's not sandy, though, just rough. The painted concrete alongside the painted house and the artificial dark green turf has such a nice finished look to my eye. We'll see how it lasts... There are a few other projects to attend to at B1 now that the backyard concrete floors are safe and in ship shape, but overall I'm happy with the place. A new day lies ahead, beginning with the morning light in a few minutes. Peace and blessings, blog groupies.
