Have to give Victor some credit on this one. After the driveway was sealed, the faded and rusty 6’ x 6’ steel plate over the well really stood out. Victor noticed it himself and decided he wanted to take care of it.
After work, and even with the heat we’ve been having, he handled the entire project on his own — sanded the steel, cleaned it with mineral spirits, cut everything in with a brush, and rolled on two coats of Rust-Oleum Hunter Green. And of course, being Victor, he meticulously taped the entire perimeter so there was absolutely no chance of getting green paint on my freshly sealed driveway. I’m pretty sure he spent almost as much time making that painter’s tape perfect as he did painting the plate! 😂
What I’m most proud of is that he saw something that needed done, took the initiative, and handled it from start to finish without any help from me. It turned out really well, and I have to give credit where credit is due. Like father, like son — when it comes to being meticulous, I think he gets that from me! 😂👍
