Yesterday and today have been spent waiting and painting... followed by painting and waiting...

Tuesday, we got to the CMC and they had no paint for us...finally, after twiddling our thumbs until lunch time... we left for lunch... and paint arrived while were gone... to the amazement of the contractor the entire hallway got painted in just a couple hours... then we ran out of paint again... with only a few feet left in the hallway...

Wednesday, we got to the CMC and they had new paint for us... different than what we needed to paint the hallway... this was oil-based paint to paint several partition walls in a couple rooms... we got right on the job... and promptly ran out of paint with one wall left... again, we left for lunch... and found paint waiting for us on return... we finished the remaining wall... and now had no paint to finish the hallway from yesterday...

Evidently, the contractor has a fear of getting stuck with a lot of leftover paint or something, because he only buys it one can at a time. Seeing as how we have a whole lot of building to do, I don't think he needs to fear leftovers at this time! What he needs to realize is that, in spite of how we look (remember the crew is Drew, Dan, Glen, and me--probably not the most awe-inspiring groups of painters ever assembled), we can cover some walls in pretty short order. We came halfway around the world and are ready to work!

Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will dawn with buckets of paint waiting for us...
