House Painting - week 3

Week 2 was caulking (ie. boring), but week 3 was full of excitement! The day started at 8am (made possible by coffee and my mom's coffee cake recipe) with Jesse working on board replacements and then the color began. Josh and Scott dropped by and between the four of us we got a coat of yellow on all 4 sides and 2 sides received a second coat. I worked to fill in the gaps around doors/windows/spouts/cable lines, etc. Everyone agreed the color looks great - can't wait to see it with the trim and doors done, too. Anyway - on to the photos!

Damaged boards removed

It turned out pretty good I think!

The house looks great, Reba! Are you still going to paint the shutters?

Reba said...

If I can find the right spray paint color I'll definitely paint them - they are plastic which is making my options a bit limited. Thanks all!

Reba, I think you can use an oil based paint for the shutters as I know its hard to spray paint evenly and it would take a lot of cans. You might look into it. Looks great!
