painting report

Well, we squandered a perfectly good weekend by painting the house, or at least the walls, not counting the top few inches below the trim (gotta use a brush for that) and the bottom few inches (gotta use a trowel and a brush to get down below ground level). Next after that: Paint the facia boards and soffits, grout some cracks in the stucco and paint that, and get rid of the "footprints" left by vines that grew up the walls leaving little tracks, and then paint that. Also, replace a rear door to the garage that was attacked by a gang of vicious ferns that grow around the edge of the pool deck, replace an outdoor light fixture, and replace torn screens around the pool deck. Ain't home ownership fun?

I would post a photo at this point but my first photos seem to have a slightly pinkish tone to them, as opposed to YELLOW.

The door and shutters are going to be purple - not like your typical grape but with a bit more blue. My wife, it seems, is trying to reproduce the University of Michigan colors as Versace would have done them.
