I know what you desire: to watch a man work while you rest. I know you want this, because, thanks to RU-vid, it has become one of MY favourite pastimes too!
This video depicts the final stage of the transformation of an ugly garden wall. The initial stages were not captured on video, for video was a mere afterthought.
Stick around until the end for some delicious before and after shots.
'Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.' - Marcus Aurelius
And so I began. I began painting this ugly wall that marks two sides of the boundary of my garden. No longer could I bear to look upon it’s hideous, mouldy, unevenly faded breeze blocks. With vim and vigour I attacked the wall with my wire brush, sending dirt, brick dust and dry flakes of paint flying in all directions.
Such was the lust of my attack, it did not occur to me to video the onslaught until the task was mostly complete, but, dear seeker of paint and wall based entertainment, enough of the work was captured by the lens of my iPhone so that you may live vicariously through me and my efforts to replace wretched chaos with divine order, and offensive ugliness with exquisite beauty.
