siding and the back porch

Siding is finally going on the house this week!!

Which meant that I had to get the back porch ceiling

(not to be confused with the front porch ceiling!)

painted.

I foolishly went out there late Thursday morning

thinking I could prime,

run to 2 grocery stores

put said groceries away

and paint

all before Tyler came home.

I 

am

hilarious!!

The first coat of primer took  over 4 1/2 hours.

The second coat only took 3,

as did the 2 coats of paint.

So,

what I thought would take a day

took 4.

But it looks pretty fabulous if I do say so myself.

And the siding guys are making fantastic progress :-)

(also - the electric company came yesterday - we now have power out to the house!!)
