For the last month or so, as you were complaining about the heat, I
did look occasionally at the Bothel weather report. A few weeks of
temps in the 70's. That slacker could have painted long before now.

It's none of your painter's business. It's your house. BTW - black
trim on a house never looks very good, imo. Except for shutters and
doors only...not trim around the house though.

Lot's of luck with your sappy house painter. He sounds like a total
choad.
I've been working in temps going up to mid-90s. No problem with the
paint as long as you stay out of the direct sun.
