What we noticed shortly after moving in was how bad a paint job was done on the house. There were several different random shades of red. Fixtures clearly weren't removed and there were splotches of red paint where there should be no red paint.
We knew it would be a while before we could afford to repaint the house. We optomistically hoped two years, but here we are at four. I think I'm actually a little surprised we're getting to it this soon. But we had our roof replaced last month and that just made us anxious to get the painting done and feel good about the house.
So here we go. Prep work started today. They powerwashed the whole house and it looks like a war zone! We're having the wood on the front bedroom replaced and changed from vertical to horizontal. You can see that it's removed already in the picture below. We also are having the railing around the front porch rebuilt. Jim and his dad ripped it all out a couple weeks ago.
It's been a little confusing to know what color(s) the house was before. It's looking like it really was a tannish yellow.
What a mess!
I keep wondering if the neighbors are happy to know the red is finally going away. Our house has certainly stood out like a sore (and very red) thumb.
