A Masterpiece ....

So, in exactly 5 days, they painted the exterior of the house!  Just like they said.

2 guys - 10 - 11 hours a day - and today was Mothers' Day!

Painted the house really means -
- power-washed the whole exterior
- killed the bees and removed the nest
- scrubbed the bugs off the trim around the windows
- cleaned the eaves out
- cleaned all the exterior ceiling fans
- repainted the black metal exterior light fixtures (having removed and cleaned them first)
- scrubbed all the exterior wood surfaces (no more mold and grit)
- taped all the edges and put plastic over windows and things
- spray painted most of the wall - did roller or brush for the finicky bit around the roof-line
- painted the window trim
- painted the pool pump house and the water monuments
- painted the metal stair and railing at the back
- scrapped every surface (floors, window trim etc) to get any speck of paint splatter off
- swept and washed the floor
- put the remaining paint in cans for us to keep
- cleaned up every night
- walked the whole of the house with us to make certain any little deficiency was corrected - even found and fixed ones we didn't see
- left saying if you notice any issue just call

Absolutely amazing job - nice guys - really professional

And the end product speaks for itself
I know ... I know ... it is still yellow and white - but it is now yellow instead of some extremely sun bleached concept of yellow - and with the new paint, hopefully will resist the sun a bit better.

In case you hadn't got the message - we are thrilled with the whole process and outcome!

  1. I love how the house and landscaping are growing into their surroundings... I also like how the tower element feels more and more appropriate, compositionally....
