Lots of pictures of the painting process. It needs to stop raining so they can finish.  These are pictures over October. Prepped, then interrupted by rain. Primed, now interrupted by rain again.  The blue you see here is the tinted primer. 

 Yep. That's how much eastern light floods our house, you can't even see the new wood on the upstairs porch. These pictures just make me happy; I'm definitely a 'house should face east' kind of gal. The exterior carpentry will be totally done today. As of this afternoon - hell, maybe right now- there is no rotten wood on the outside.   Once we have more money...PAINT!         New slate up top, repointed chimneys, metal roof on the porch, chimney caps, wood rot fixed, chicken wire screens removed and gutters. Lots and lots of little things.  

It's swatched on the house and I like it!  Ignore the purple, that will be painted over with some trim colors soon.
