I do feel like an idiot.

I should have realized that they stopped working for a couple of days for a reason.
The porch floor was only half painted and I was concerned that they were snatched away before they could finish.

NOT THE CASE!
They painted half the porch floor and allowed it to dry before painting the other half so they could put the wicker furniture on the completely dried and set newly painted floor while they painted the other half. Duh!

A year ago there would have been no concern - I may have been just slightly annoyed.
