How does the higher volume feel so far?

I am treading a dangerous line. It is a bit sore but not in a way that would stop me.

Thatā€™s the name of the game in our 40s, eh? We still have a good amount of endurance and strengthā€¦ Just enough to feel like we can push harder and do more than we should!

I was feeling flat at the start. The single dead was slow but acceptable.
Feeling better at the end.

We are repainting the house for our vacation next week as most hiking parks are closing due to forest fire.

House is almostvready to paint. My mudding and sanding skills are not bad for someone who only do it every 15 years.


My chickens are growing nicely. The white one should be good to go in 5 weeks top.

Everything okay?

Enjoying a few days off and repainting the whole house.
I am sore. I donā€™t know how many time I went up and down the step tool but my quads and ass hurt. My back and shoulders are toast.
But the house look nice.
3 days of hard work!
And I learn that my bf is shit at cutting.

Good to hear! There has been lots on the news about the smoke and fires.

We had smoke for a few days but the closest fire was about 100km from us.

It was a small projet. We had to get a few more gallons as someone did few changes to the original plan.

One coat paint is a great time saver.
The main bath room is a pita with so much cutting and tight space.
Our master is dark and sexy af.
