Today Nick applied the second coats of paint to the east gable end wall, thus completing this stage of the work.
Cutting in is the term for lining up two levels of paintwork which most people I believe would use masking tape to ensure a smooth line.
As shown in these images Nick uses his hand and eye to produce
this clean line.
Later I began drafting the next section of Legends of the Ring which I expect to publish tomorrow.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s Butter Chicken frozen after our last meal with the Grandfamily and Special Rice and paratha brought back from our recent visit to Rokali’s, with which I finished the Malbec.
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much, Merril
The paint looks great! I am familiar with that term and have rarely painted anything.
Thank you very much, John
Sounds like a good day all way around.
Thanks very much, Pat
Great job! It’s only us amateurs that need tape.
Count me on the amateur team!
Thanks very much, Sheree
I have never heard the term, but he obviously has remarkable hand-eye coordination. You are lucky to have him, Derrick.
We certainly are. Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Dolly
Holy cats, Nick is impressive.
The best. Thank you very much, Laurie
Does he want to come paint our house in Australia?
He might if your weather is better 🙂 Thanks very much, Peggy
Its fascinating to watch a skilled and experience painter at work. I need lots of tape to avoid a static line. I do very, very little touch-ups even these days. Messy is my middle name when it comes to painting. 🙂
Thanks very much, Chrissy
Superb job, Nick! You are a winner! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
PS…How are the Grand-Family doing? I had them on my mind recently…hoping everything is going wonderfully for them!❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn. They are very happy. We receive periodic videos. XX
Oh, so good to hear! ❤️❤️❤️
Definitely a the finish of a professional tradesman 🤗
What a steady hand! Well done, Nick!
Thanks very much, Rosaliene

Thank you very much, Eugi
You are welcome, Derrick.
That is very nice, neat work!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
Oh how I wish I had such a steady hand! That I do not is why I enjoy abstract painting
Thanks very much, Rose
I agree with the others about the steady hand.
Thank you very much, Sue
Whenever my husband and I would paint, I was the official cutter 🙂 I, too, used only my eyes and hands…
Thanks very much, Dale
