Our porch needs painting

And we don’t have time to paint it ourselves. I know, let’s get Mikey to do it!

Wait, he painted it in 1981.

Let’s get Janet and Olga to do!

Oh yeah, they painted the porch in 1995 to earn money for gymnastics camp.

I guess it’s time we stop taking advantage of family and hire the pros.

Perhaps while the porch is being painted, they could take down the sliding around the upstairs’ bay and put up shingles. Wonder what that would look like? Let’s take a peek.

Beautiful, let's have the siding removed on the front of the house from the porch up. Our man tells us we can put some great colors around the attic windows. Speaking of windows, replacing the front windows has been on our to-do-list for years. While the pros are here, let have them do it!

So now we are getting the porch painted, replacing the front siding with painted shingles and clapboard and getting seven new windows. Good thing we are structuring the job to avoid scope creep.

Well there is the new beadboard on the front porch ceiling, remodeling our bedroom and creating a large walk-in closet, but those are tales for another day.
