That will be our story until the snow starts to fly again. The kind folks at our local preservation alliance awarded us a facade grant to help pay for the overhaul of the paint on the wood portions of the exterior of our home.
By my estimation there are 847,000 pieces of wood that need scraped and painted.
I am actively recruiting young bodies to assist in this endeavor as the mere thought of it makes my old body hurt.
I can't wait to see the end result. We all think it is going to look amazing.

At least 847,000 pieces of wood! That's daunting. Congratulations on the grant; it's wonderful that your town has that program.
Not to mention over half those pieces of wood require a ladder or scaffolding to access. Can't wait to see progress.
Phenomenal news on the grant! Definitely a lot of work ahead. We painted our home's exterior last year - - but nothing that tall or intricate. We will enjoy your progress pics as well as before and after.
