Mark Twain House Bark!

 On Crooked Creek's color of choice is . . .
                                                                   Mark Twain House Bark!


The Completed Look . . . Day 15!

New trim color of Almond Oil accents the windows and doors!


New hue. . .Almond Oil vs the past hue of Almond Paste!

"Mr. Ed" did all the painting ~ by himself!
I offered to help.
His reply was," I don't like the way you paint!"



"Really?", I replied.
His response, "You paint everything black or white!"
I must admit. . .he' s correct.



The East Side of our home. . .Day 5!

South Side (Garage Side) . . .Day 7!

North Side of our home. . .Day 8!



The back of our home freshly painted. . .Day 10!



Since he had 31 days to complete the job,
I didn't allow "Mr. Ed" to paint on the weekends!


The West Side with the deck. . .Day 10!

Not only did he complete all the painting
and the trim painting around the doors and windows;
he also replaced all the screens to the 10 windows in the house!



Even the Garden Shed,
On Crooked Creek, received a new coat of paint!

The Garden Shed. . .Day 13!

What a m a n!



All the exterior work
                  On Crooked Creek
                                                                 was completed on Day 15!

. . . and since I wasn't allowed to aid in the actual painting . . .
                                       I photographed the amazing transformation!



On Crooked Creek ~
                          Here's the b e f o r e . . .

We r e a l l y like the way it looks!


Until next time. . .

  7. Love the new color! It looks updated and fresh. Nothing like a new coat of paint to make a house feel appreciated. My sweet hubby painted ours just recently, and I mostly watched.
    So I know how much work it was for you two. :) Happy Weekend~

  8. Pat, your hubby did a great job...and even painted the shed, too.
    Don't you just love how a new, fresh paint color perks everything up?
    Nice job...and now I know how to get out of painting...black or white, huh? :)

  9. Pat, What a MAN is right!!! Love the cowboy hat! It is my husband's goal to become a cowboy... or a pirate!
    I love the new color too. Very warm! and they work so well with the stone.
    I had to laugh at your cowboy's comment about you painting everything black or white. Me too!
    Now that he is finished this huge project I have one question.... DO YOU RENT HIM OUT?
