Man oh man oh man, do I love these images (and that man)! The dramatic contrast of hues and his silhouette against that magnificent blue sky feels so "paul bunyan" to me - or sort of like a caricature of a titan of industry from the 20s/30s art deco style. I know it's a stretch, but that's what first struck me when I saw him up there. Love it.
The answer to your question: "he's painting the tin roof over our front porch." Desperately needed it.
We scraped, chipped and sanded until we were numb from head-to-toe. Sitting on a slope like this for hours at a time and scooting around on your backside from one section to the next gives new meaning to the word wedgie!! Oy!
The rust was pretty, but not so much that keeping it would have added shabby-chic value to the house. Glad it's done. Now onto the next project: painting garage doors.
