So... We decided that our spring project would be to paint the house. Not a small project but since Nick has been off of work (varicose vein surgery) and bored he decided to get started.
Starting May 21 I will be off for 11 days so I will be doing a lot of the detail work then. I am also doing a 2 day yard sale and Memorial day cmaping during that time so it will be BUSY!
Nick has done a great job of getting the big areas done, but he is not one for the detail work or heights so that's my job.
The house will be changing from grey to a green with white trim and tan accents (shutters, front of the porch, etc.) so this is going to be a big change for us!
Years ago Nick painted the front of the porch red while we were painting the barn. That area will soon be changed to a tan that will help pull the colors of the roof shingles out.
Notice that the inside of the porch is now green and so is the lower portion of the wall to the right but looking higher... you see the areas that I will need to work on.
The lower portion of the walls around the deck will have wood around it. It should add a nice accent.
Nick made it to the top of this peak but the higher ones will be my job.
Although I love to see the changes that we are making in the house I am sure that I will be looking forward to going back to work after a week of painting! That's just wrong!!!
I am sure happy that Nick got a lot of the bigger areas done while he was off work though.
Obviously we are not done painting yet so we will keep you posted on our progress as we go!
The new color looks great! It'll be fun to watch it all come together. It doesn't sound like most of your vacation time will be vacation, though!
