Red - Day one

I bought myself a small platform which is an excellent help. It's actually a three-part thing, it can be a platform like here, it can be a normal ladder about three metres long and it can be a ladder in an A-shape. An amazing thing for hardly any money at all, Painting would be a great deal more difficult without it, having to run up and down a ladder that I also would have to move all the time. Now I can work in a somewhat comfortable position.

Todays efforts unfortunately can't be seen, I started doing the most uncomfortable job, which is painting the wood under the tiles, the "roof-foot" as we call it. A very awkward position to be in, painting the wood over my head, which also creates some paint dripping down if I'm not careful. I'm really stiff this evening, that job is for people with a more flexible body. 

Job continues whenever the weather permits, it looks like I can do the walls on this side tomorrow. I have "free working hours" as my landlord says. I recon it will take at least a week, all the white around the doors and windows will have to be painted as well.
