Wow, no rain today! Quickly slapped on a coat of fancy Finnish primer. The primer costs 2x as much as the paint because it's difficult making things stick on galvanized steel.

On the upside, it can also adhere to tar paper. Despite the internet saying nothing adheres to tar paper. Typical case of the internet being wrong.

If the firewood store looks like it's grown curtains, that's because it currently doubles as onion/garlic drying station. Does a fine job of both.

We're renovating our porch roof. After removing the aluminum siding, we're concerned that the painted wood underneath, which is peeling, may be covered with lead paint, and that the dust and flakes may contaminate our garden and house. We're planning to test the paint this morning.

Has anyone discovered lead paint while working on their house exterior? Got any tips or resources?
