Summer project

Because I had some time off I decided to paint the house.  Stupid, but hey...sometimes I do stupid things.  It started with having to cover up one spot and slowly turned into the whole house.  But, I will say it looks better than it did.  I couldn't figure out how I was going to paint the second story. It was keeping me up at night as I was trying to come up with the perfect way to get a ladder on the roof safely.  We have a tall ladder, but because of the porch the angle wasn't right for the ladder to touch the house.  I was trying to figure out a way to put a ladder on the roof and kept praying to help come up with an idea that would be safe.  I got the ladder out and Kyle agreed to help me.  I told him my idea and he responded with..."Um...that doesn't sound safe.  How about you just use an extension poll."  Why didn't I think of that!  It worked like a charm.  I learned something about myself that day.  I was praying for a safe way to do it my way.  There was a safe way to do it, but it wasn't my way.  I couldn't think of any other way.  Kyle's way was much safer and easier.  Interesting lesson.  The chimney was a little scary, but Monty held the ladder and we got it.
