Oh no, damp weather is a pain in the behind! We have 80% humidity on this side, and in the winter nothing dries. You need tumble driers just to get your clothes dry. I cannot imagine how the paint will react to the dampness!
I hope that you are on schedule with your project, and that it is not too cold!
I had high humidity when I lived in southern Spain… so I understand the winter part.
The wall didn't dry, and 2 days ago we had rain. So the bottom was washed away. Not fully but enough to see the dark grey under the new white paint. So I have to wait and redo those parts.
Temperature dropped significantly and day time is 0 degrees. Tomorrow the forecast is 79mm snow ❄️ continuing into Friday.
But… it looks like next week 2 days above 5 degrees. (8 and 10) so I hope to paint those days. As below 5 degrees I can not paint. It is tooooo cold for the paint. (Operating temperatures)
I am sure I will get it all done and fixed before the real winter starts 😁
I did have some time to carve some pumpkins for halloween 🎃 and write a story around it. If you have time, check out my last post 😎 it is funny hahaha 🤣
Have a great day and enjoy your Halloween, if you celebrate it.
Oh my, that seems like a crazy amount of snow for my brain that does not understand snow! Or who does not know it? I would not really cope with those temperatures, as I have come to love the year-round sun where I live!
Good luck with the painting, it sounds really interesting that you need to factor in the temperature! Some time that I never even though about.
Oh I will go and look! It is funny, they have tried to bring Halloween to South Africa for so many years now, and still after all the attempts it still fails, as we do not have the cultural history for it to take root. But I will check it out! Enjoy and keep well!
I just measured how deep the snow is right now. It is 11,5 cm deep. So a lot… don’t think it will defrost this week with the higher temperatures.
I don’t mind proper seasons… going from snow and cold days to a mild summer.
Haven’t been able to touch the area up with paint yet… as sson as the temperature goes above 5 degrees I will finish it 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I am having high hopes for this week. Hahaha 🤣
Some places don’t have indeed the history to get it rooted. Thank you…
I haven’t really celebrated it, I don’t go all out with decorations like you see in America. But a few pumpkins are fun 🎃🎃
Thanks.
Have a great week!
The americans really give it their all with celebrations like that! Slowly, some of their stuff are becoming more prominent here, like gender reveal parties - which was never a thing as far as I remember only recently beginning to become popular under younger generations.
Oh my that is a lot of snow! And I guess it is seriously cold there as well! Again, my body will protest, because even though I do not like the extremely hot days I will take them over having extreme cold!
I saw on my last travels their Halloween 🎃 decorations. They are awesome. They go all out indeed.
Yes, it was never a thing where I lived… but it is popping up in europe lately.
The cold isn’t bad actually… as it feels warmer than it look. It’s a dry cold.
One can dress for it. Lots of woollen layers.
Today though I am very cold… but that’s just me. Hubby seems to be ok. Hope I don’t get sick.
I managed to paint the last outside bit… the temperature was 8 degrees, although 4 days later it is still wet. Luckily it is only 1,5 m2
I will have to repaint that in the spring.
We got yesterday some inside wall paint. So tomorrow I start with that. 😁 more jobs to do… hahaha it will keep me warm.
Moving around and doing things in and around the house surely helps with keeping you warm. I know in the winter, when I sit and work, my hands always freeze because I do not move. But when I walk in the garden and do small tasks, my hands warm up!
Oh no, when I see the snow, I immediately get cold because my mind tells me it is cold. But I am sure your body gets used to it when you spend enough time in it!
I hope that the paint dries somehow! Good luck.
Yes, little chores help… sitting down can make one cold.
Not sure if I ever get used to this much snow… hahaha !LOL
Probably not… with the first rain it will wash away. The temperatures closer to the ground are probably too cold. Luckily it is a very small spot. I retouch it in the spring… once the snow is gone. No worries there.
Thanks 😊
That is the goal right, to be active in the colder weather so that the blood flows. But it is never ideal, as the cold makes you so lethargic!
Enjoy the snow for those of us who cannot experience it!
