So, the project is done. I was like, I can do this, no problem.
I love challenges and difficult projects. So I thought.
Too big and too time consuming. I put probably 50 plus hours in this project, on a roof at 85 degrees. The Smurf blue first two coats were difficult as they were rubberized. If I stepped on it wrong, it stuck to my feet as rubber will do. BUT, that was not the hardest part.
The hardest part was the 6 more layers of white paint to cover the blue, Smurf blue. Most of the time James was busy either working as a Therapist 2 days per week, with me cursing him under my breath for picking this project, or he was laying two rooms with tile. He really helped with some of this, too, though. The rubber coats were very difficult and stuck to our shoes.
You see, we are both a bit manic, but no more. I told him I need a 4 month moratorium on projects.
I learned that I want to enjoy my retirement, friends, family, personal "indoor" small projects and maybe even have time to read. Yessss!!!
There are chapters in our lives that require a lot of effort and this was one.
This may or may not be a little burnout. Just be sure when you speak up and agree with your partner husband, etc, consider the consequences. Really make sure it inspires you, floats your boat, etc.
Life is short, play more.
**I will check back in 4 months to see if I stuck to it, lol.
