Coloring the House

Kerry brought the main color (grey) and the door color (a rich deep red) home when she made her trip to Lowe's Saturday. Thanks Dad for the use of the pickup for the one by twos and moulding that we also needed.

After church, I washed the north side of the house and it dried during lunch. Then, James and I came back and started painting. It went pretty fast. I just need something bigger to pour the paint into. I got the north side of the house done by the time Kerry came home with the laundry. I think I'm a little sore from hanging from the back eaves yesterday and it was hot this afternoon, so I didn't paint until dark and go on to the back in the shade. I wanted to be able to move in the morning since I have a workshop tomorrow in Abilene.

Kerry is very pleased with the color and I think it's going to look really good once we get more on the house. After the siding and the doors, I'm there will be the trim and the awnings. We'll get some pictures in a few days when the light is better. We will no longer be one of the four white houses at the corner of Ash and Fannin any longer.

Sarah is still in Colorado with her Memaw and Papaw. She called Friday and I told her that we were painting the house black and pink. I don't think she believed me. She's having a great time. It's cool up there. We told her to enjoy it. I'm hoping to get much of the siding color done by the time they get home.

Have a Great Week!
Brad
