They say prep work is the most important step. I must say that having the right tools to prep with make it a ton easier too. On Saturday we did the back 1/4 of the house (it was like practice for the next day). The back 1/4 part we HAD to get done so that the electrical can be moved tomorrow, and then the balcony deck will begin being built shortly after that.
Woke up Sunday morning with the drive to just get the job done! Started at 9:00 and had the rest of the house masked and ready to spray by 11:00. Coat #1 and coat #2 done before 1:00 so that Jeremy could make it to softball practice. Not bad for a weekend (and so glad this paint has a lifetime guarentee. Like so many of these tasks, it’s great to only have to think about doing it once.)
Thanks to Kate for loaning us their paint sprayer, to Corvallis Rental for the extension ladder and Home Depot for mixing all (and them some more of) those samples!
Next up is to paint the trim, but no hurry, and this was definitely the last big part of the job. Everything else feels like it will be easy!
