like i mentioned in a past thread..my home needs a new exterior coat.

i let it go. i've always thought i would get to it. to dress it up..make it look good. i ended up hiring real pros. the sanders are out and spinning madly. every once in a while, a guy will knock on my door and show me some dry rot. i've changed out 5 boards already. sucks!! i am taking out beaten down redwood siding and installing a pine product.

i now understand that house paint is more than "making it look good"..it is almost as important as the roof shingles. i mean i knew it was for wood protection..i knew that..but somehow it is hitting home for me more now.

i think my guys gave me an accurate estimate. they are sanding like mofos..some walls are going down to pretty much the bare wood. there are coatings i didnt even know existed..these guys estimated up to 3 weeks to do my tiny home.

i'm over it..before they leave, i am getting home paint care tips. i am washing my house regularly..and repainting the sun baked sides. no more doing it when it is beyond healthy.

they are doing such a bang out job, my neighbor across the street is going with them next.

i am trying to work from home some..the noise level is impossible. argh.
