nice timing

Papa and Phyllis gave Tara and I the old metal patio set they had up in Maine. It's been sitting on the deck waiting for my lazy ass to get it ready for use since last year.
I went to town scraping it all today... I had the metal brush going like crazy. I got all of the chunks and loose paint off so it was ready for the rustoleum. i head in to get the rustoleum. I brought it onto the grass so that i wouldn't stain the deck. I started with the table.
The sky was cloudy and i knew that the forecast had mentioned humidity and potential rain but of course I am dumb and continued anyway. I was so happy with my table job that I grabbed two chairs and started to spray them. when i was about to do start on the third chair i felt a drop on my left shoulder. GREAT. it takes a good 20 minutes for the rustoleum to dry and i had probably finished the table 5 minutes before the rain came. oh well. like every other project i attempt its a mess of a job.
at least two chairs will be in super condition because I'll wait for it to be a clear day.
