08-29-2010: Painting eaves and soffits


We started painting the eaves and soffit today.  It took 4 1/2 hours to put on the primer, and by the time we got started on the real paint, it was getting dark.  I lightened up the last two pictures and am not sure how accurate the color is in the pictures.  We think we like it but it was too dark to really tell.  The color is Stonehenge Greige from Pittsburgh Paints.  Rick needs to get 2 coats of the paint on before Tuesday when they'll start putting in windows and doors.  I helped Rick and also worked on foaming windows.  They will also need to be finished by Tuesday.  

Tomorrow, the HVAC guys will be back and maybe the plumber will even show up.  The electrician will be trenching a line from the street to the house sometime this week, and the framers will be back on Tuesday to finish up the front and install the windows and doors.  When the eaves get painted and the plumber puts in the vents on the roof, we can get the roofers back to put shingles on.  It's going to be a very busy week!
