Last month I started writing about my half started projects that I planned to complete this summer. Well, I am off to a slow start as I have been spending a lot of time organizing cubscout activities and dying clothes.
However, I did manage to get half way through my garage floor project. I drew a map of my neighborhood and measured my son's hotwheels cars so I could make the map to scale. My son helped me tape off the roads, and then we spray painted meadow green paint over the area. My garage ended up having a green dust all over it from the paint that I ended up cleaning up for days afterward. It got all over everything. Spray paint was definitely not the way to go.
The second problem was when we pulled up the tape. We had used blue painter's tape, but it still ripped up the gray paint from the floor underneath. Thankfully I had leftover gray paint and was able to touch it up.
The next thing I need to do is paint some houses and the yellow lines on the road before putting a sealant over the design. The problem is finding the time to do this without having my one year old play around in the paint.
