The Bane of the Business

It has never been more evident to me how terribly inaccurate weather forecasts are, nor how strange Fayetteville weather can be. When did this drought-ridden pine desert become a wetland? I swear, I’ve never seen so much summer rain here.

 

Of course, never have I had such a vested interest in the weather, either. A single rain day will set us back 40 to 50 man-hours depending on the number of painters on the crew. The crew is expected to produce $1000 per day, and if we don’t catch up before payroll on the days we’ve missed, it could be a month before the painters see their pay from a particular job.

 

Enter the Fleming residence. It will have taken us 2 full weeks to paint this home, which should have been done in 1. As soon as weather permits us to finish (tomorrow I hope… *crosses fingers*) I’ll post the before and after pictures. It’s a pretty amazing transformation, and I’m glad to say that's all thanks to us! Until then, I thought I’d entertain you all with some pictures of the crazy weather I have to face each day.
