Painting

It's been a little while. Janelle and I have started hanging out a little more now that she is no longer working. We even took the initiative to finish painting the little wood chairs we bought ages ago at DI.

A couple days ago we went to home depot and picked out our color and bought our primer/sealer, etc. We converted my parking spot in the garage into a makeshift painting area and painted both chairs. Having finished both chairs, we left the supplies in the garage for a few days as the chairs were drying/curing.

Today I decided it was time to get my spot back so I moved everything out of the way and pulled in the majesty of my 1993 minivan to its rightful place. As I did so I heard a "splut" and felt the van struggle against an unseen source of tension.

"Oh no," I muttered.

Turns out, I didn't move everything. Getting out I saw two partially smushed paint cans and an explosion of splattered Turret Stair (RL No.: NA32) all over the garage floor. I ended up buying disposable tupperware to salvage the remaining paint, but I don't know if spilled paint keeps as well as leftovers.
