Flood in the Back Room
Ay-Yi. Got up early, opened gallery early, off to a great start. Many household chores as well as studio chores, much laundry to do. Sigh. Washer broke and flooded the entire bed/bathroom on the first load. Husband is still back there working on it. We believe we found the problem, I think he's testing now to see if the pump still works. I sure hope so because if not, nothing will happen about it until Monday at least. And our guests are arriving Monday!
The biggest painting problem up here (now that I've sorted out the paint drying too fast) is pulling all the flying bugs out of tacky paint. They squash, they smear, they make a mess and sometimes is not possible to repair the spot unless I re-paint the entire area, especially when they land in a blend. I pulled over 20 bugs out of a little 16” x 16” this morning and may have to re-paint the whole background—Adding another 3 or 4 days time to that one.
Yay!! The washer works again. Drill bits do not belong in pockets, pockets should really be emptied before they are deposited in the clothes bin. Pockets should be checked again before clothes go into washer. Drill bits do not make washing maching pumps happy. Not at all.
Now to proceed with the day. And cleaning up the Gawd-awful mess back there.

Maybe if you have the wall space, build a frame and then put doors on the frame that have screens so the bugs don't get into the paint. Or for a large area, buy sliding screen doors and use that. Just hang the pictures up on the wall and shut the doors. Just an idea.

A book of matches is a bad thing to leave in your pockets too - my hubby does it all the time...machine deals with it ok, but mama don't like! Little bits of cardboard everywhere! rrrrrr! Guess it's better than them getting in the dryer though! :O
