Sky Blue

This is the area right outside the master bedroom window.  It's the only place where the laundry can be hung to dry.  The new occupant of the house requested that it be screened to prevent clothes from flying off and landing in the swimming pool should strong winds come.  Not wanting to spend again for the screen, I found old aluminum screen doors and derived a pattern.  Originally, I wanted the rest of the area to be left unscreened because I like seeing the clear blue sky framed by the wood without any intervening layer.  But am I the one who's going to live here?   

I received a text from the occupant requesting the entire area to be screened.  If I get the wire type mosquito screen, there would be added labor cost to install them properly.  So drawing from the trusted junk storehouse at home, I found old fishing nets that could easily be nailed onto the frames. 

Preparation for painting work has been going on for one week now and we're a couple of days behind schedule.  Delays are to be expected and normal and I believe we'll still meet the target but will only be off by three days.  The lesson learned here is to give a deadline a day or two before the real deadline.  This is good experience and practice for me to get a feel of how long it takes to finish each type of work so I can make a better estimated schedule next time.   

Originally, I wanted to use a light olive green to complement the color in the curtain, however the occupant requested for a blue room so we gave her a blue room.  It turned out to be cheaper because if I stuck with a special color, it would take time to mix it and get it right.  Whereas, there's a convenient, ready-made sky blue.
