The back yard porch---after spray cleaning

The front yard--ugly chipped paint

Woo hoo! New paint!

Paint on the back porch!

Paint on the front!  

 On wednesday, I rented a high-pressure sprayer for Jesus and Vicente to wash the house.  Friday and Saturday, the fellows painted.  This is the first of two colors, the other being a very lovely brick red for the trim.  The plan is for the guys to finish on Monday.  This poor old house needed to be painted when we first bought the place.  (almost six years ago!)  It is starting to look really nice, and I plan to post some updates on Tuesday.
