Anyway, here's a photo of the house in the beginning of the summer:
As you can see, the paint was starting to peel. The sides were in much worse shape, trust me.
Sean and Steve did the majority of the painting and had a little accident we refer to as "the caulking incident." It was the time they caulked the whole front of the house with non-paintable caulk and had to go over the entire thing again with paintable caulk. Yeah, it was awesome.
It's also the reason we ended up painting our house white. Because it was the only color that didn't show the caulking mistake. Because the caulk is clear. Because when we tried to paint over it with green the paint beaded up and ran away. Oops.
Anyway, it turns out we really loved the white. It opens up the whole back yard and we'll add some splashes of color to the door and window trim this Spring. We're also going to get a new fence in the backyard and I will (finally) hang up my window boxes.
Oh, and we're going to paint the cement porch--any color or paint suggestions?

Oooh, maaaan. The caulking incident.
ACK.
I am glad the white is rockin' it. :)
Hi, my name is Peter and me and my wife are thinking about moving up to New York sometime in the next 2 years. I know New York can be expensive close to the city, so we decided that somewhere up in central and north New York would be better. I have taken a look at Buffalo and have seen houses that seem pretty cheap. Can you tell me what areas (streets) are not as nice to live and what the average home price might be? Thanks alot.
It is rather interesting for me to read the article. Thanx for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
