This spring we started a project on the house that took on a life of it's own. We decided that it was time to paint the house, which was originally red with a very poor coating of beige over the top creating an interesting pinky-tan color.
Spring
After scraping parts of the house we found dry rot in some of the soffits and that they needed to be replaced. Then summer hit, full of weddings and harvest and 100 degree days and the house sat there
unfinished waiting for us to find the time to repair the soffits.
Labor Day weekend, we finally were able to replace the soffits and then we started painting. While we had all the storm windows off we decided that they needed a good cleaning too so we scrubbed 7+ layers of crud off them. So after 6 months of work our house is finally finished. We decided to paint it a carmel colored brown with white trim.
Unfortionately this picture doesn't quite do it justice becasue the sun washes is out so badly but we are very pleased with the final product.
