Since the weather has turned a bit sunny this month painting has begun in earnest on the outside of the house. I really like the colors that Curt has picked out. It looks great with the shingles. However, I am not a detail painter. HATE IT! So Curt ends up doing that bit. (And he really doesn't want me doing it.)
You can see it takes some tricky maneuvering!
However it's starting to look great! You can see why I don't want to do the windows, the all open up outward and there is something like 3 different places to paint on them.
So my job is spackling all the cracks in the mortar around the edge of it to get it extra water proofed. Much more to my liking.
I did this around the whole house. In my new work overalls by the way. Curt hates them. I have to say, they are not flattering at all, but.....
There is no plumbers but on the job site!
After I got all the spackle on, then I had to paint the back wall with a plastic paint. For further waterproofing. Can you see a theme here? (We live in Washington)
I have one more coat of this and it should be done!
The electrician is finishing up tomorrow and gutters are going on. I should have another update soon!
