House painting 10'14

 The HOA has been having the exteriors of all of the units refurbished this summer.

They finally got around to working on ours this week.  What a messy business.

  First we had to move all the potted flowers on the porches further out into the yard and  so the painters could power wash all the wall surfaces.


Rather than carry the potted  herbs from the upstairs deck  into the yard (and expose them to ground dwelling insects) , I moved them  into our bedroom.  The master bedroom suite now looks like a jungle. It's very dry in the house so I put a plastic sheet over them to help retain more moisture in the air around them. I've been giving them minimal amounts of  water.Fortunately the weather has been sunny and mild so getting enough light without overheating  has not been a problem.  Hopefully the painters will finish out unit soon, so I can put the herbs back outside where they belong..
