Done Painting!

The house is all painted up, the rotten boards have been replaced, the doors are painted, the entablature over the front door has been installed and we have new front porch lights and mailbox. Looking better all the time. The color is Pier.

Almost Done

Going Grey

The first coat of paint is on the front of the house! It's only the first coat and the house looks a little naked without the shutters (which are also in tatters and in need of a major overhaul and/or replaced) but so far so good! No more big yellow house though :(

Here's a reminder of the "before":

Primer Perfect

Here are the final primer pics. We've had lots of rotten boards replaced. Found bats in one of the walls...

Exterior Primer

The primer is going on! And finally, the piece over the door to restore the entry to it's original state.

 

Power Washing

And so it begins. This house is getting painted guys! Of course it's going to look worse before it gets better:
