True Happiness

We had a great week for painting - hot and sunny - but up until today. Despite the chill, Lola found true happiness in bubbles on the sidewalk.

Exterior paint is almost done. Front door needs one more coat and they are still finishing up some trim and the barge boards.

We finally got the sink portion of the counter but as it turns out, the smaller section next to it (it's in 2 pieces) has some flaws. So...the fireslate saga continues.....

Paint Continued..

The body of the house has been painted as well as some of the trim. Dugan still needs to do the little trim cap detail around all of the door and window trim. Painters will continue to work through Saturday.

Back of the house

Good Weather - Finally!

We looked at getting these cool Neutra House Letters, but they were a bit expensive so we settled for this. It's designer too, made with recycled (and recyclable) cardboard and a fresh black sharpie. Mailman seems to like it.

Ok, so the whole reason for this posting wasn't to show off our cool new house letters, but tinted primer. I didn't know they did that but apparently it's better to use tinted primer when you're painting a dark color. Hopefully people don't think this is the final color of the house...

Primed backside.
