Inside work !

Well, at 92degrees it is too hot and Humid to work outside SO, down to the basement we went, grabbed our Paint Brush's and started to paint the basement walls ! We were gonna do this this winter !
.
.
My Honey started in the worse spot, by the old cast iron sewer lines and started painting,  it is supposed to be Navy Grey,  Will know when it has had a chance to dry, the tint, lighting or my eyes are  off as it looks a little different than what I chipped, scraped and slapped on Bulkheads,  Fan Tails and Port and Starboard sides of ships !!! 
..
.
She is moving right along, covering up that pale Army Green on the walls, guess thats what ya get for living outside an Army Base, many inside walls and houses were Green here in Deferiet or they were Papermill Pale Green !  Directly behind My Honey that raised square in the corner was the 'Shower" for the House, the Mill Workers would finish work, come home and shower in the Basement, Most Houses in Deferiet have these, this one is plugged now and is where the Cats Litter Box goes >
.
.
We painted the west wall and called it good now have to wait for it to dry in this heat and Humidity !
.
.
I have to do some work on this section of Old Cast Iron and Jute and Leaded joints, the round thing is a slop bucket and drains out. Lucky as there is a sink down stairs with hot and cold water which makes cleaning up easy !
.
.
I am getting the South Wall ready to paint, some patched areas covered !
.
.
I will tackle this tomorrow as it is gonna be another Hot and Humid day again ! I need to brace up the front of the sink and the angle brackets to make it more secure and stronger for cleaning.
.
Well its late, almost bedtime, it's 2220 and really past my bedtime !
.

.
Don't forget, Remember our Veterans.
.

.
GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!

Oh boy, do I remember the cast iron, jute and led connections. God Bless those old plumbers! Amazing the changes in plumbing. A joint that took 5 minutes now takes about 20 seconds in PVC. NOT counting the weight. OUCH. The job looks great, haze grey and underway takes on a new meaning. LOL
Love you guys smart to be in he basement, continue to take care of yourself (the both of you)
Love from Florida just a half mile from the beginning of Florida's main street. (The FL turnpike)
