The house painters are done. With all the wet weather we had
in June, 10 inches for the month, it was slow going. It took two high school
guys 20 hours each to paint the trim. They started the 24th of June
and finished July 6th. This house is a challenge to paint. It has 6
very high peaks and a lot of trim. Thank heavens the rest is perma-siding that
doesn’t require painting.
It was the first house the guys have painted. They did an
excellent job. All we have left for this summer is roofing of the two front
peaks and chimney replacement. Will be glad when that is done. Love our old house
but it does take maintenance.
Rose.

The finished house. Doesn't she look great?

Yes, she's lovely! We need to get our old girl painted too. The front porch is a mess! I may seek out some high schoolers too - great idea!

Thank you. We call on high schooler for a lot of odd jobs around here. Most of the time they are eager to earn the extra money. Especially if they are out for sports, which makes it hard to take steady jobs. If you know none, call the school office or athletic director. They usually know who would be dependable and would be willing to work.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I was always in charge of the north side of house...boards covering window wells or something? Anyway, I never scraped the old paint very well and I remember painting over a lot of spider webs -- guess there was a reason I was assigned to the north side! LOL
