Getting Rid of the Green – Step Two

As mentioned in a previous post, we’ve been working on removing the ugly green colour from the front of our house.  After replacing the shingles and flashing, we got out the heat gun and started tackling the thick layers of paint around the front door.

We’ve had some complaints from our friends and family, who will now have to learn our address to be able to find our house.  But, all the neighbours seem to be pretty happy with the transformation.  Next step: paint it to match our next door neighbours.

Your front door is gorgeous- Is it new or original to the house. I'd love to know where you found it if it is new. I guess I notice it more now with the green gone!

Hi K Dot! Our front door is original. There are only a few houses on the block that still have it. It needs a bit of work, but that will have to wait until the spring.

By the way, great job on your kitchen!

The front of your house will look lovely - I like to see it when both sides of a duplex match. Maybe you could paint out the downspout in a brick colour.
