When the wife's away. Daddy will play(work) -- Changes around the house

So we finally found a color for the house. Our house was white with pink/purple trim. UGLY! We've had a few colors on the wall for choices. (Our neighbors love that) We removed some shutters by the front windows and the walls behind were a different color. So our house has be paint starved for awhile. We'll we got some paint quotes. They were not bad. But being somewhat handy and really having nothing else to do during this nice warm spell, I thought I'd tackle the painting of the exterior. (Plus I spent the house painting money on something else.... ;)

BEFORE

(With trial paint on wall, trim has already been primered)

HERE is a sample of the trim color currently, and the before pic for tomorrow

WAY more prep then indoors. Cleaning, scrapping. priming, etc. My neighbors have come by to chew the fat while I was working, none have ever offered a hand, I guess they hate painting as much as I do. So here are the first two days were of painting. All around the front door and front walls. Doesn't look like much, but this is not stucco on the front. Its wood and raised boards, so lots of EDGES. The rest of the house is going to fly compared to this section. :) I hope. The color is Kelly Moore Ocean 02 (A kinda blue, grey, green) With the white house color, two plus coats will be required. Which is why today's changes were not that extensive (painted Fridays areas again.)

END of FRIDAY
