The table got sanded and stained first thing the next morning........ but Tom's mind was already going to what to do next as he took a break to consume more coffee and smoke a cigarette.
"We should be painting the house before it gets hot and humid...... not to mention the bugs" ....... "Yeah I know.... it should have been done last year." ........ "Well I'm telling you now and I don't care what you say but the trim around the windows are going to be green..... I'm sick of all one color." I gave him a "you got to be kidding" look..... "don't look at me like that" he says in a challenging voice..........
The table was done and still drying as we were all headed to town to look at stain for log siding.... we agreed on something darker but I still was not on board with green trim. BUT my answer was "what ever you want dear." to keep the peace.
We left the store with stain and brushes. He said "we're here we might as well get it. "I suggested we should run it by the payer person first.... his voice got loud and I could see a visual display about to erupt. To save embarrassment I said "what ever you want to do dear"
On the way home my evil side came out after all that took place..... I asked in a teasing voice "did you play with Lincoln Logs when you were a little boy?" Recognizing the tone of voice he asks cautiously "why?" Well if I remember they were brown logs and GREEN roof"....... and I burst out laughing. "Honey?" I start in again......"What color did your Dad paint the trim on the shacks you guys had?" ......."I don't know...why?" he asks. "Because the pictures I've seen and the one on our wall....the trim is GREEN"
He let me know than in no uncertain terms that the trim is green and I can tease or be mad all I want.... "what ever you want dear" I said.
Next day and one & a half walls later I noticed he was painting the trim with the siding as it was intended when we built this place........ He than let me know he changed his mind on the green and really liked it this way better........ "You always know what's best" he says.........

So far we have been having a good time with this project....... He is all mixed up till I have him set up but after that it's all good. He paints high and I paint low.
