finally used my housemate’s electric sander to remove the majority of the peeling blue paint from what had been a fountain…

eventually it turned into a planter, but started peeling like crazy…

it has been sitting under the deck, where I could ignore it, for quite some time…

didn’t take too long once I got going to sand it down so it can be painted…

I do love purple, but the sun changes it to blue over time… still not quite sure what colour it is going to be… hmmm…

house…

before I left home on my vacation I took a few pictures of the house…

the trim has been peeling like crazy and the doors have both faded…

I’d arranged for it to be painted while I was gone, so wanted some pictures to remind myself of how it looked…

I had chosen a company that would let me pay over a period of up to ten months and only required 10% down… seemed worthwhile to have the professionals do the job… 

my daughter drove over the day after it was done and sent me some pictures…

looked nice from a distance and in the early evening light… she noticed a few things that needed to be touched up, but I was very happy to see how it looked…

as soon as I got home I took a few shots to show how good it looked…

tonight they came by to fix the few final bits… someone will be by first thing tomorrow to get the last piece put in around the window… 

looking very nice…

was a little disappointed to discover they needed cheques for the 6 payments… apparently they only take credit cards for the whole amount… that can be the problem with dealing with two different people… they each gave me different information…

happy it is done and pleased with the finished product…
