I awoke to bright blue skies, a gentle sea breeze, and no pressing projects ahead of me for a few days. It was time to start work on repainting the front room!!!
Unfortunately, I had a lot less Kilz left than I thought I did, barely enough for the new wall and one side of the pocket door. I am going to need more, which sucks since I’m going to end up with leftovers.
The primer dried almost immediately, so I was able to put the first coat of yellow on the new wall. I’ll do a second coat this afternoon, then let the two cure for a day or two. That will give me time to wash down the other walls with TSP and then I’ll do two more coats over the entire room.
My boos are not happy about being locked in the rear part of the rig, which has the best view, with only food, water, the litter box, and several soft lounging spots for comfort. Must be tough being a cat.
L came over a moment ago to ask me if I wanted to work on the solenoid this afternoon. YES! So this is going to be a day for projects.

We (“I”) will be very interested to find out the results of the solenoid investigation! If you have to replace it be sure to get one of equal or higher amperage rating.
If it turns out to be a simple job of cleaning and tightening leads as L thinks, I will kick myself for not having understood the importance of this part YEARS ago. Oh, well, no sense kicking myself over what I didn’t know. It’s all part of a big learning curve.
