You're Lucky I Don't Have Your Forwarding Address


The previous owners of our cozy little house left us a whole collection of old paint. In order to dispose of paint it must be properly dried out and that task was beyond these people obviously. So we are finally getting around to drying all these tacky colors (Pimp Caddie Aqua, Bordello Red, etc...) out in the back yard for impending disposal. Paint dries out very slowly, and meanwhile we are treated to a symphony of toxic odors that keeps the dogs at least 30 feet away at all times. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any mosquitoes around lately either...

Be glad it kept the dogs AWAY. For some reason my cat was ATTRACTED to my drying paint and I ended up with colorful little kitty pawprints all over the basement. They gradually faded as they got to the stairs so the carpet was spared. Ok, so maybe the lure was the kitty litter I used to quick-dry the paint. With the exception of the catnip effect it's a great tool for "pre-disposal old latex paint drying".
