We finally broke down and had our house painted. This was a stresser for me (Judy). First I had to pick a color I liked. Then I stressed out after picking a color as the color I chose didn't look like what I thought it would when we looked at the little chip at the store, or at a 2'x2' square on the house. The painter's had to push our job back a week due to another job and rain trouble. The week they started it rained for the first 2 1/2 days so not much progress. Then they had forgot to back roll the big tall side of the house. Kaitlyn was also having a garage sale on the fri/sat of that week and I didn't want the painters working on the front of the house then. Plus Alan and I had our PDX/Hood 2 Coast race that weekend. You should have seen our property when we left- looked like white trash lived here- and that was probably giving it too much credit. Took them into the next weekend to get everything finished. The front & back doors took way longer than they thought (about 3 days to sand, stain and urethane). But we finally signed off on Friday along with writing out the check (ouch) to pay for it. But we are pleased!!! Mom, if you read this I know you find it funny that I would paint my house green after hating green when I was younger. Guess it must have been ingrained in me somehow.
BTW- the house actually looks green and not mud colored. The photo does not show the true color.
