The house next door is being renovated and painted. Since Frank and I recently moved into the small house on the
top floor of our office building, I have a good view of the building and painting processes of the neighbours' house. All day long, the men put their energy in making the house look beautiful and shiny. But besides being able to hold a paintbrush, these men need to have good balancing skills as well. Instead of stable, well-built scaffoldings they need to make the best of their slightly wobbly construction with thin slats and wrapped-around ropes. I find the balancing skills of these hard-working men truly impressive and admirable. But I have to say that it also takes a lot of courage to even
watch them!
