Exterior painting marathon

Exterior painting marathon

Choosing to paint the exterior of our home single-handedly was a marathon, it took a 6 full months, painting each night once our young children were in bed sleeping. However, it was a labour of love and worth the effort.

Taubmans all weather paint in Surfmist used for the bricks and weatherboards at the back of our house. Dulux metal shield spray paint in Woodland grey used for the window frames and fretwork.

Re: Exterior painting marathon

Beautiful work, @makingmyhive and certainly worth the effort! I hear you on the marathon part, painting is exceptionally rewarding for the first several hours, but it can get tiring after that. Your results are something to be very proud of, and you have undoubtedly dramatically improved your home's street appeal.

 

Many thanks for sharing.
