Too hot to paint?

Hot weather needs some organization if you plan to paint the outside of your house.
Latex paints dry very quickly if left in the sun ( in minutes), so always keep the roller tray or cutting bucket out of the sun.
 ALWAYS KEEP THE LID ON THE PAINT CAN. Removing the stir stick will also save you a possible spill.
Applying the paint can be difficult as the heat is turned up,  adding a little water to the paint is a good way to keep it workable.
Start painting early and plan to be on the shady sides of the house.
Finally, during the many drink breaks and lunch,  make sure you cover your roller tray and paint brush  with either a wet rag or plastic sheeting so your expensive tools will continue to apply paint thru out  the project.
