I will just post a series of pictures. We had the new windows put in last summer and you can tell the house really needed painting. This summer we hired the painting done. They used an excellent caulk for all the boards and cracks. The power washed the house. It sat for over a week in the heat so it was nice and clean and dry before the paint was applied. I had them use ICI Dulux paint. I have used it a number of times before on other buildings and it seems that their latex paint in a nice hard plastic seal for the house. I think our home can go a good 12 to 15 years before we will have to add another coat of paint to it.

It was nice to hire the help to get it done even though I have excellent painting skills. I have so much going on and the 2 story house is quite high - I respect heights and avoid hanging off a ladder at 15 ft off the ground. The prep work alone was massive and tedious.
I love the bamboo shadows on the house in some of these pics.
A good paint job really upgrades the appearance and value of a home as well as keeping it in good shape for years and years to come.
Those are huge grape vines I have growing along the deck rail - yummmmmmmm. The garden is just busting and booming.This is my new blog about my method for gardening.
