Well, I just told my cousin I would paint the outside of her house while I am here over the next few weeks. It is almost summer and the temperature outside is pushing 100 F. I will need to come inside every hour to cool off in the air conditioned house because I’ve been living overseas and it is about 40 degrees hotter here than there. I’ve only been here a few days and am still adjusting to the climate. I don’t even have an HVAC system in my house overseas because the weather is so mild. It’s a different story here and it is going to get a lot hotter over the next couple of weeks. I should be able to paint the outside of the house in about a week and am planning on working in the mornings and evenings when it’s not so crazy hot out. My body starts heating up just walking in this heat. My cousin has a brand new HVAC system with a smart thermostat and it cools the house down in a very short time. It seems like they put too many vents in the house though because my bedroom doesn’t get a lot of cold air in it. I don’t think she got zone control air conditioning which seems like a mistake but oh well, at least we have AC in the house. I am going to go out and measure the house to see how much paint I will need. I can’t believe that exterior paint at the local business goes for $45 a gallon!
