All done

The scaffolding came down, the painters finished a couple of weeks ago, and now all the little touch-ups are done.

From this distance, the most obvious improvements are the skirting below the front porch, (which hadn’t been done since we installed it last year), the carport area being black instead of “treated lumber green” and the roof, which had a little rust and a fair amount of dirt/mold/lichen.

But up close, the old paint was quite worn and grubby. There were multiple colours on various parts of the house, and lots of cracks and gaps in the board and batten siding. It’s all caulked up now… we should be warmer and drier this winter ( and I don’t mean from climate change).

The paint color we chose is called “swans down”, and we intended it to be enigmatic. So far, that’s working well… in some light it’s almost a minty green, other times it just looks white or even grayish.

Our two workers were fine… one amazing and one less than, so it averaged out. The boss had injured his knee and was absent, and I think if he’d been there the other worker might’ve been a bit more diligent.

Now on to the next projects!
