I got started on painting the other three sides of the house at 7am today. My fingers were frozen. Had to be in the 40's or somethng like that. It's going to be a long process since the hardy siding seems to soak up paint causing us to have to put two coats on. What I finished today was the bottom half of one end of the house, the parts that I could reach with the ladder without falling off, and the back porch. Only the yellow tho. We decided to work on one color at a time. When all of the main color is finished then we will go back and start on the cookie cream trim. Not much to tell right now but I will keep you guys posted on our progress and of course there will be pics.
I have posted so many pics and comments about our home that it was suggested to me that I should start a blog. So I did. I believe in making due with what I have but on occasion there is a need to buy a few things to complete a project, such as paint and hardware if I don't have the right kind on hand. I hope you enjoy what you see on this blog and thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say. :-)
