Paint it Black.

I'm painting at home.  Not a future masterpiece, nor even a minor watercolour but a full scale house.  It's odd that we use the same verb for a work of art as well as a maintenance task.  It's not the most interesting thing to do, but at least I get something substantial to show for it.  

It's also a watercolour, well, the paint is water based, and coloured so I guess that must be a watercolour isn't it?  With my very limited experience in the paint industry (none, to be precise) having a water based solution to an outdoor problem seems to be in a bit of a conflict between the weather and common sense.  'Its raining - quick, cover yourself in a water based product to keep dry' is not something you hear very often.
