Well it was cooler than yesterday but still warm enough to paint today (so far we are lucky!).  Please hold off rain!

Ryan continued painting the porch soffit and posts the front is now almost done!

Porch soffit and posts almost all painted in the front

Then we got a coat of paint on the siding on the section we started yesterday and a coat of yellow on the soffit and crown and frieze boards (still need to do the windows and all cutting in since the green was still wet).  Paint took longer to dry today (cooler plus primer dries faster).

Now the color matches down below

Then we got the primer on the siding on the rest of the driveway side.  We decided it was more important to protect the siding before winter in case we run out of rain free days but we do hope to get the soffit done too.  Ryan finished the day with getting primer under the porch on the siding after I stripped the baseboard under there.  Under the porch we can finish up rain or shine but we’d like to get everything done.

Green primer on all the siding

There is a little green primer left to do (just the edges of the siding under the porch where I caulked and it didn’t dry fast enough).  So we’ll get that done tomorrow.  We may rent a lift tomorrow and/or friday for working on the peak, mostly it depends on the weather but it would be helpful for sure!
