Paint Progress

Fall has been nearly picture perfect around KC. The cool dry season has proven perfect for house painting. With each week's passage, I find myself getting more and more nervous about getting everything done before the end of the "painting season."

Thankfully, today we were able to finish the 1st coat of paint on the entire back of the house. We even broke out some orange paint for the attic vent area, which was like a cherry on top of all the progress.

We used to live on a screet in KC affectionately called "Nutterville" by locals, in which every home was painted with a wild pallet of colors that you really don't see anywhere else in the city.

We jokingly called our orange vent an "ode" to our previous hood, and we like it - (hopefully the neighbors do too).

Our last step for the back of the house is to rent an airless sprayer and cover all the blue shingles again. We used rollers for the 1st coat, but there are too many valleys to fully cover with a roller. Anybody have some advice on how to pick out a good sprayer?
