DIY house painting, Day 1

We are ready to paint. Hubby and I brought the scaffolding to the side of the house from the garage. We have to assemble the upper section so I will be able to reach the highest overhang ( I do not know what you call it but it is the under part of the roof) I have to prime it first maybe 2 coats and the top coat. We also add one railing. I have a slight fear of heights and let me tell you, if I look down my knees tremble and feel sick in my stomach.

I spent all day Saturday painting. Those crevices are so hard to get. I have to use 1/2 inch brush to get into them. By the end of the day I am so tired. My right shoulder is hurting really bad. I have been bothered with an ache when I raise my right arm for weeks now. It all started when I used the leaf blower for more than eight hours straight. Before we went to bed I iced it and took ibuprofen. When I woke up in the morning it felt much better.

Sunday did the same thing. It is warmer and about 15:00 I have to move to another side of the house. The sun's heat is so intense and I did not want to burn.
Hubby is still cutting brush at the back of the property. He said he have maybe a couple more days till he finish clearing the trail.

Hubby and I left for Sacramento about 20:45, Sunday night.  When we walked in and picked all the bags from the truck I booted my laptop as usual and hubby teasing me about it. I saw some FB friends posted that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I right away Googled it to confirm and turned on the TV. Yes indeed he is dead.
