Exterior House Painting

We've been waiting since April to get our house painted before this winter and it's finally happening!

And here we are halfway through the painting (don't the front windows pop so much more?):

Things should wrap up in another week or so. We're hoping the final "After" picture doesn't have snow on the ground! I can't wait to see the (Cardinal) red front door and black shutters! Then it's time for Christmas decorations...
