We have the house and trim colors picked!

We found the exact shades of the green and cream we wanted! The green we are going with is called Kennebunkport Green, and the ivory trim is called Windham Cream. They are from Benjamin Moore, and we bought the samples and I did a test area. I'm so relieved to finally have those two colors decided. We just have to find the exact shade for the accent color.

Beyond the halfway point!

Well, after a very busy few weeks and a vacation, Jerry was able to work on the house some this past weekend and he will every night this week. We HAVE to get it primed and painted before the weather gets too cold.

He is now below the tops of the 1st floor windows. He replaced the metal roofs on the tops of the window trim. That took some time, and he is just going down clapboard, by clapboard renailing and replacing with new redwood if it's needed. He was able to salvage some of the cracked clapboards, by using the non cracked ends to fit somewhere else.

I will be posting some photos soon, and I also need to write out the history of the house and all the work we did a few years ago when we gutted 1/3 of the house. I just haven't had the time yet. lol
