And the painting begins!

The painters have been with us since Wednesday and all I can say is I am sure glad we decided to hire them to do the job.  We are using the same painter, Greggerson Painting, who painted our previous home on Springland Lane because we noticed that after 8 years our home still looked new, while many of the others showed need (in some cases desperate) of repainting.  They have been great and are a really nice crew.  They washed the place last week and let it dry thoroughly before starting sanding, caulking and priming this Wednesday.  After two days of that they starting painting today.  Two layers and back brushing (with the coolest brush extender) and it's looking great.  Can't wait to add the trim color (dark red) next week!

Yahoo!  The painting has started.  You can get a glimpse of the main color
at the right of the photo and on the deck where Jason is working.  After
seeing the primer and tape last night we were glad we hadn't chosen
blue and white for our colors! :-)  They wrapped or cover everything that isn't to be painted!

A view from the inside - kind of creepy.  

Another view from the inside.  I much prefer the neighbors' garden!

The south end done and ready for trim work.  They were so nice not
to close us in (with all the plastic over the windows) all weekend.

And a last picture of the front of the house before the new paint.  Our
poor neighbors, they were probably wondering if we were ever going to
get this place painted!
