I remember seeing all those signs in the summer time Pooky, but they dont have anything like that here in buffalo (that I could find) The house painters are just so expensive....so we thought we would tackle it ourselves.
Now, we didnt paint the whole house yesterday. Its a 1910 2&1/2 storey monster. My girlfriend and I took 5 hours yesterday to just paint the first floor front of the house. The top half is a different colour......and Im not climbing a ladder to go up that high, we will definitely get someone to do that for us!
But Im glad its done, now we can either paint or replace the sad looking shudders, and I can get on with my gardening. I forgot how much I missed playing in the dirt
Ok, off again, hubby was hungry so I popped home to get him something and ended up here
