Weather Days

Yesterday we were sent home early around 1:30 PM due to the freezing conditions after the cold front blew in.  I can’t remember ever being sent home for freezing conditions before this year and 2 within one week is pretty staggering.  Some people at work can take work home but I need too many software packages installed locally on my machine to work from home, I’m not complaining.  Any free time Bambi and I have we usually spend on working on the house these days.  I finished off the living room paint job last night, good ridden.  I have never spent so much time on one house project, ever. 
We also went to a few stores looking at their options for staining our bricks.  Our house is completely bricked on all four sides.  The current bricks on the house are white with a yellowish orange tint, the house definitely needs a face lift.  We have been going back and forth whether or not we paint the brick with actual concrete paint or use a stain.  I definitely like the idea of staining it but not sure how it will hold up and last as well.  So we bought a gallon of semi-transparent paint last night to try it out on some of our loose bricks that we have lying around the house.  I will post some pics once the experiment is done, I hope it works.
