Home Improvement Week 6

I THOUGHT we were going to be finished last week. We're SO close!! Stone work is complete. The only item remaining for our crew is Tex-Cote. We decided we want our house to be green. Tex-Cote had 2 choices of green:

Umm... can you say "chocolate mint ice cream?"

or

No and No. Does anyone really paint their house either of these colors?? Maybe they use it for trim or something...

We looked at dozens of green samples:


And decided on Behr paint, "Sagey." It's the one on top.


Because we want a color that is not standard, Tex-Cote has to mix up a special batch for us. Two days has now turned in to five. They were going to be here Friday, then today, now we're scheduled for tomorrow!

Of course when the crew is gone there will be plenty of sweat equity left. Les took last Monday off to "recover" from Youth Alive/Alive at the Park and ended up tearing out old brick in the front yard and our patio covers (he's replacing the wood with vinyl - no more painting!)


I don't know about you, but in my experience home projects are never done!

The Sage color will look fabulous on your house. I love Sage but the style of our spanish house would not be an inviting one for that color. And when it comes to home improvement, I know the feeling. We built a three-car garage with guest studio. It took one year. Never again (oh can't say never. It was a lot of fun in many ways). Hope to see finished pics of your place soon.
