custom home ++ exterior paint part 1 11/27/2003
« Previous entry: cedar back porch ||
We had a beautiful run of weather this week; temps in the high sixties (20 real degrees) for three days, very unusual for November. But outstanding weather to paint, and my crew was here and they sprayed the body color on the house in about two days, with the trim not getting finished because a lot of it wasn't complete.
The body color we (by which I mean my wife) picked is called "chatroom," which I find amusing for no particularly good reason. It's sort of a desaturated green, and I have a heck of a time seeing it since I'm colorblind to greens and reds. It's pretty subdued and works well with the setting, I think. Anyhow, we're real pleased with the looks of it, and the paint is applied very nicely. Joints were caulked neatly and the siding shows no visible seams.
By the time the weekend hit, some of the trim still hadn't been painted (it got installed late in the week). I was out at the house doing cleanup, and the paint crew showed up. They set in to painting the trim, but then it started to rain. The paint they laid down, a lot of it washed off.

Been close to a year. Must be you're planning a big anniversary post where we can see you all moved in. I expect to see underneath-the-bed pictures, no fair using that for storage. You were supposed to think of that ahead of time. :P
