October 18, 2007 :: Painting the Beast
What's this? Has Larry found new motivation? Nope. We finally found someone who actually showed up at the house when promised. Yes, we have hired out the painting and siding removal for the second story - us being terrified of heights, and all...
Dude was here yesterday and has most of the siding ripped off. We've discovered more things about the house now that we didn't know before. It's storming today, so I don't count on him showing up. He's eager to get this finished up so he can start on a couple of other jobs though, so he might drop by to finish the siding removal. Painting should commence and finish this weekend. He's using a sprayer for the grey and then painting the trim by hand.
Our quote so far?
Remove siding, scrape siding, soffit and other trim, paint entire second story and 2 walls of first story and all trim: $1150.00 (we supply paint)
Build porch/deck thing for side door: $150.00 (we supply materials)
I'm pretty happy with those quotes. We'll see how his work is in a few days, and I'll post a report of course.
Here's his web site:

Here are some pics of his work so far:
