Nearing completion!

Happy 4th of July! We've been quite productive here in Modesto as you probably guessed by the previous post :) Dominic chose to work this morning so he could have another day off later in the year so I got outside early again and put up the first coat of REAL paint on the trim. I started in the front this time (started in the back yesterday to practice technique on the lesser seen areas) and got much of the easily reachable trim done before he got home around noon. Yes, I put in 4 full hours of painting on the ladder BEFORE he got home. Then we broke for a delish lunch fitting for the fourth on July...Brats and an array of yummy salads (potato, coldslaw, fresh tomato mozzarella and basil, and can't forget the broccoli. Even Eclair had a brat! That A&W is AMAZING! My hunny bought it for me as a surprise because he knows how much I just love my floats.
Then we prepped for another few hours of work...apparently this is how I look when giving precise directions on the best way to get the small cracks covered. And please disregard my butt hanging out of that ladder shot.
Here are some afters....in this first shot you might notice that the white extending up from the garage doesn't look 'done' and that's because it's not. We're planning to paint it the house color to deemphasize its appearance and we'll probably repeat on the widow on the other side of the house as well.
I'm not too sure what to do about the screen now. It's just ugly, but sort of a necessity in California with all the bugs and crazys out there.
