The 3 day weekend gave daddy a good block of time for our latest project - PAINTING 336. Daddy says we are about 8 years late in getting to this.
The south side is the worst because it gets beat on by the sun all day. It takes a couple of weeks of scraping, a week of decayed wood repair, a couple of weeks of putty, a couple of weeks priming the bare wood spots and then we may start putting some finish paint on. It will take two or three weeks for two coats.
Then daddy will start the process over on the east side of the house and then maybe the west face of the carriage house (which is pretty bad too).
The siding and light green trim will be the same color. Some of the other colors we are experimenting with some slight changes.

Overall good post Mom. You got me in my famous red overalls.
ReplyDeleteDad taking on a task like that, you may have some calls to not only design a house but to take care of the exterior as well. You look great and the house is looking good as well. I don't know if Jeff has made his decision or not but I hope he decides to have the reception at that newly painted house
ReplyDeleteI can't see how I couldn't have the California reception anywhere but this beautifully painted home. Lookin' good Dad. Your paint job is pretty nice too.
