Summer chores
One more done…adding reflective paint to the posts and putting up the French house number! I found the house number on eBay UK–a real French one! I needed to spray some laquer on it to seal the chipped areas on the back (to prevent rust). Then I finally went to screw it to the post and discovered the screw holes were too close to the outside edge of the 8×8 post which was, of course, not quite 8 inches wide. Sigh. So that meant glue up some leftover baseboard on the skinny edge to make a wide-enough back, prime, paint, then screw backing board to the post, then the numbers to the backing board!
But at last, what a concept. I don’t have to say “There are three driveways, take the middle one, you won’t be able to see the house but we are really up there.” Instead I can say take the driveway with the 339 on the post! YEAH!
