Painting the House

Finished! (Well, pretty close)

Before

Thankfully, height was not an issue for my dad or Greg because they both spent alot of time up on the ladders.

Phil was going to rent a portable lift to help with the really high spots - but a pickup truck works too and it is much cheaper.

Some more ingenuity for those hard to reach places

Well, I think we have been talking about it for at least two years or so but we finally did it - the house is painted. Actually, I didn't ever pick up a paint brush but Phil with the help of my dad & Greg did all the work. It was a huge job but with 2 days of beautiful weather they finished the bulk of it. We still have a bit of trim and such to finish up so my hubby says he may get a paintbrush in my hand yet.
