2 1/2 Days



Bob is home for Christmas, so we put him to work...and he was a good sport! We did the trim - a cream color - on Monday. It was a great day; we got all the trim done!






On Tuesday we did most of the wall color - a soft green. We got all but the east wall completed.

On Wednesday morning, after the dew burned off, we did the final wall and the accent color on the front of the house. The accent is a darker green.

Sure beats the old Florida pink!

We were glad we had a rather small house to paint. The stucco is hard to cover with a roller. No wonder paint spraying is popular with the painting crews! We were glad that Bob was home to help; he did most of the rolling, which was the hardest job. Now that we're done we have most of Christmas vacation to relax and do other, less strenuous stuff. And I think we did a pretty good job on the house!

House looks very nice! Great to have such strong helpers! Our old bodies can feel it when we overdo.
Also noticed the interesting place you have above your garage for a Christmas wreath! Cool!

yeah, well, it looks good but the blister on my thumb is still healing... and my bruises from the ladders are all turning yellow... but those may be just because I'm a clutz! and the house does look good!
