I just finished painting my garage. Ask me anything.
80/90-degree heat for days on end. High humidity. Divebombing wasps. And I never fell off the extension ladder even once. :P

3. Why thank you for biting on my first "ask me anything" thread!
It's now pale yellow with white trim. (It was a particularly nasty shade of orange.)

2. Do you know the old joke?
Prostitute: I'll do anything for $300.00.
Customer: Paint my house.

8. You couldn't saved time by using a nice prostitute... Sit in the shade, sip tea, and "direct".
I'll bet you enjoy doing things yourself, right? It's a good feeling.

10. Yeah, but in this town
I think we've only got one, and I think she's the "daytime prostitute" from My Name Is Earl.
:rofl:

I am particularly proud of my painting job, yes! I'm sick of the garage by now (took me more than a month from scraping to final paint swipes) but at least I don't mind looking at it. The neighbors are happy too.

6. Too well, actually
Started to dry as I was painting, so I couldn't go back over what I had just painted only seconds before. Had to paint only the parts that were in the shade.

I have an addition to paint that is in the sun most of the day. So I am going to sit and look at it with a beer in my hand until Fall.

12. Toss in some Mexican food and you've got a deal!
I am not afraid of toiling in the heat! And I've got an incredible base tan by now...
