Black Friday

Today we painted for two and a half hours and completed three jobs. They were all outside jobs and we are now done with them. The rest of our painting will be indoors. 

It was sunny today but much colder than yesterday. My fingers were pretty chilled by the time we finished.

My other accomplishment of the day was to get some Christmas lights out. I got it done but I lost three strings of lights over the summer. I know they worked when I put them away but that was not the case when I pulled them out tonight. Two worked for half the string and one was a complete burn out. I am tempted to spend the time to find the bad light and get them working again, but that takes forever and I would be letting down the throw away society we have developed here. Easier to buy a set of lights.

I have to get the new LED lights. They are a cleaner looking light and I think they will last longer although I think I have made it three Christmases with these lights.
