House Painting

Our house was looking a bit drab and tired, so we decided it could use a paint job. I hired a local contractor to do the job. He came recommended, and we are quite pleased with how it all turned out, as well as how his workers accomplished their tasks. They started out by washing down the whole house with bleach water and scrub brushes. No pressure sprays to penetrate our log home with unnecessary water. Then they filled in every crack and opening between pieces of wood with caulking, and the primed spots that needed it. Finally, they painted the house a golden brown color, accentuating the logs and the wood. Trim was done in a dark green, and the ceilings of the porches were done in light blue. Supposedly, flies and other insects do not like that color, and will not hang out. Here are some pictures showing the completed work.
