Just boarded out half the garage roof space for storage and got the
apprentice to put stuff up there.

about it.

On the topic of "comedy paint errors" I can confess to one the other
day. I popped round to a former neighbours to help with a spot of
painting. I took a part used tin of primer with me. When I had finished,
I loaded everything back into a large black sack that was handy and
chucked it in the car. Got home and took it back to the workshop. Its
only when I got as far as the garden gate I realised I was leaving a
trail of white behind me! The lid had popped off the tin of primer when
I took it out of the boot and put it down temporarily on the ground, and
it was now pouring out of a vent hole in the bag.

That reminds me, I had probably go do some more pressure washing!

Does pressure washing remove oil-based paint ?.

It could have been worse - old fashioned creosote which would
have stunk out your car forever.

Fortunately its acrylic, and its cold enough it has not really set yet.

I was lucky, none came out in the car - think its when I took the bag
out of the boot and put it on the ground it must have popped open.

Update to say: the pressure washer did a fine job, removed all traces of
it - it just flaked off when hit up close with the jet. Just needed to
"feather" the edges a bit to avoid having a painfully clean stripe over
the flag stones!
