Finally after months of doing all the unglamorous and dirty jobs we finally got to paint the front of the house. We chose a nice blue/green color that was from the list of choices for the historic area. In the next couple of weeks we'll start to close in the rear of the house and put a floor in the downstairs kitchen (finally!) BTW it took an entire day to even start the painting...first we had to scrape everything, wearing respirators because of old lead paint and then had to caulk the joint at each and every board. The neighbors really seem to like the color and the fact that we're fixing what used to be a bit of an eyesore on the street.
If you look real close you can see the old layers of paint underneath the new color. There were about 5 colors underneath including grey, green and tan.
Sarah's mom Liz had the fun job of trying to paint the railings on the front porch...it's harder than it looks to paint all the nooks and crannies.
A shot from across the street. We think it looks really good next to the yellow house.
