Laboring on Labor Day Weekend

Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary. We should be on our annual canoe trip. We cancelled our trip because we KNEW that there was no way we'd be able to relax in the middle of nowhere knowing that this project would still be waiting for us when we returned to civilization. And now we are are shaking our fists at the sky, asking "Why must you conspire against us, Mother Nature?!" The plan was to prime the house for painting. We even had several extra pairs of hands ready for work and generously donated by our families and friends. No dice. Rain poured steadily from the sky beginning at noon, lasting well into the evening.
