For a lot of reasons, some valid, some not, the painting of the house has taken a lot more time than expected. We are getting close to the end now. We love the colors and it looks beautiful from a distance. That being said, we ran into another hiccup. The area below the porch looks beautiful, but the paint has bubbled in a way that looks like it is due to moisture. It is probably going to take significant rework. We feel bad for our painter, but really need it to be right. We are glad he is such a good guy and stands by his work.
