Farmer H will be painting the last outside wall of The Pony's house on Wednesday. I forget why he put it off so long. Maybe it got cold too soon last year when he painted the other three. Anyhoo... The Pony had requested that it be done before winter this year.
Farmer H has been working at the flip house every weekday morning except Fridays, and when he has an appointment. That's since around March or April, when he recovered enough from his back surgery. He only works until 10:30 or 11:00, so he can get to his Senior Center lunch. So not a lot of hours, even though he leaves home at 6:00. Not knocking Farmer H for this. He works hard. But you'd think maybe he'd have more to show for it.
Anyhoo... on Monday, he took the power washer over to Pony House to get that wall cleaned off. It's the east wall, the one that faces the neighbor, and where that big walnut tree had to be cut down. A doctor appointment on Tuesday put the painting off until Wednesday.
Anyhoo... The Pony was off on Sunday. Worked Monday when the washing took place. Was off Tuesday, his regular day off. And on Tuesday evening, Farmer H had the nerve to text The Pony about "picking up the house" because he and Old Buddy would be coming in to wash the paint brushes!
I have a problem with this. Farmer H had already told The Pony to set out the paint in case Farmer H got there before he left for work. Which I imagine he will because he's always early for stuff that he's set a definite time to do. So Farmer H knew it would be a disruption of The Pony's schedule if he went traipsing around inside while The Pony was getting ready for work. You know how it is. You don't want "company" underfoot when you're doing your morning things before leaving for work.
Anyhoo... I can't figure out why Farmer H can't just wash his brushes OUTSIDE when he's done. The temperature is mid-70s to 80s. There's obviously a working spigot outside, since he used the power washer there on Monday. WHY must he go inside the house?
The Pony gave a little push-back, saying, "You might clog up my sink with your brushes."
Sweet Gummi Mary! Farmer H has no business going inside. He is not a landlord. The Pony is PAYING for the house. It's his! He's not renting. He's never missed a payment. Next month will be #18.
If I remember before Farmer H leaves the Mansion, I'm going to ask why he can't wash his brushes outside.

Of course he can wash his brushes outside, but he also might need to use the facilities. I hope he does wash the brushes outside though, The Pony doesn't need to come home to a blue paint spattered sink.
River,
That's what I THOUGHT! Until I was put in my place for daring to suggest such a scenario. More to come...
