On Saturday we looked at the forecast for Kings Mountain, NC and decided to head over on Sunday evening to take advantage of the nice weather forecasted for the start of the week. We are having to drive through Cherokee, NC because I-40 between Asheville, NC and Knoxville, TN is still closed due to the rock slide. It is not expected to be cleared for several months.
While on our drive over Sunday, we stopped and got boiled peanuts in Cherokee and apple fritters at the Barber Orchard just outside of Waynesville, NC. This orchard makes the best apple fritters, turnovers and pies, such that on the way home, we have been ordered to purchase an apple pie for Thanksgiving.
Decide to show a view of what it looks like to stand at the bottom of the ladder and look up to the top of Zelda.
Well, today (Monday) at Zelda we were able to prime the west side of Zelda. All but the very top has been primed and Brent will need to get the ladder from Ray, Jr. to reach this point. We also started to apply the finish coat on the front of Zelda, but Brent ran into a problem of applying the paint too thick with the sprayer. There is not a lot of difference in color between the primer and the finish coats, so he moved to the back of Zelda, in the bright sunlight, and finished the entire back with the finish coat. Brent plans to paint the east side and front on Tuesday.
Lynn continued to work on stripping the mantle, painted the lower level of Zelda, did some minor grouting of areas in the master bath and stove area and did some touch up painting inside.
