Painting…Day 53

Rick and his crew have made their way around to the front side of the “L” Shaped House applying the first coat of paint to the Hardie board siding. In the first photo we have Rick and Jordan painting the front of the East gable while James finishes the trim around the music room. The standing seam metal roof is plenty slippery even when it’s dry causing Rick and Jordan to adopt a “take no chances” approach to safety.

The next photo has James removing the masking from the front window of the music room after applying the second coat of paint to the white trim. The house looks really nice with the crisp white trim “outlining” all the windows and doors. The next photo shows Jordan refilling his paint can as he and Rick continue painting the siding above the porch. Jordan tells me that they have now consumed 25 gallons of cloak grey exterior paint and they are probably only 2/3 done.

The next photo shows the garage with the first coat exterior paint covering all but the top of the bonus room gable. The 40’ ladder they are using to reach these heights around the house is set up waiting for Jordan to return from helping Rick out front.

 

In this long shot taken from Frank’s front yard Rick is about to cover the very last bit of green primer with cloak grey exterior paint. I think the grey color already looks very nice and that the “L” Shaped House will look even better once we have the new sod put down in the front lawn.
