Basketball Round 2

So this morning I was going to put my dirty work clothes from yesterday on for today's dirty work. I put the cement covered pants on but the shirt! Oh man did I smell from working yesterday! So I now officially have 2 extra dirty work shirts for the summer.
The gray paint ordered from the states was supposed to cover the court with two coats. However, we didn't quite finish one whole one. We think the surface was just more uneven and porous than folks are used to when making their calculations. So we left one of the keys undone and later filled it in with blue paint. Eventually the key will blue anyway. But more gray paint will be ordered because it needs to be done right for the long lasting durability of the surface. For now thought the dirty pants can stand in the corner for next time.

Nate is dumping the paint into a big barrel to mix the paint with water in the proper ratio.

I'm mixing four buckets of paint with two of water.

Lowell and Nate squeegeed the gray paint around while I filled buckets and kept a constant stream of paint coming so as not to allow the edge to dry.

Here is a view from above of the main court paint. We will eventually paint lines and boundaries after the next shipment of paint arrives.
