Decorating
We’ve been talking about putting protective sigils into the paintwork on the house; but finding an appropriate type of paint has been tricky. At first we thought we might put a phosphorescent on there, but then found that the glow-in-the-dark factor doesn’t last long enough to make the surcharge with it. Then we wondered about just getting a contrasting latex, or getting a metallic finish, we’re still debating on that one but leaning towards a metallic.
Then comes the issue of how exactly we’ll get the paint on. Some people advocate the use of air tools, others suggest just getting straight spray paint, where as others talk about using stencils; given it’s a personal design that we’ve come up with there aren’t going to be any stencils we’d have to make them, or just draw the designs free hand. In the mean time we need to get some more of the base house color because the amount we had to use to just do a quarter of the front of the house we’re going to need at least three more cans to finish the job.
