Thank you, Tom

When you live in a 100 year old house, having a professional painter for a son-in-law is a good thing :-) Martha Stewart, eat your heart out. Our little house still has original wood siding, and the south side, which is blasted year-round by rain and sun, was starting to look pretty shabby.
Tom generously offered to paint it for us last week. What a great surprise!
In 30 years, this wall has had many coats of paint slapped on, but it's never been prepped so well. He spend hours scraping and sanding off all the layers of peeling paint. UGH! Hard work...but at last a smooth surface.
Then the undercoat...


And finally a fresh new coat of blue paint...
And while poor Tom was slaving for 3 days-- Amanda, Nova and I were playing. You're the greatest!
