No pics Yet - I'm Painting the Shed

12 years ago

I am painting my shed in two shade of green. The shed is about a third of the way done. The shed itself will be a mossy green...almost the identical green of the birdhouse poles. pillars, etc in my yard. The trim will a much lighter green, but in the same tones.

I would like to put some samll pink shutters on the window side, next to the rose garden expansion, and I may do that.

I hope to get a lot more of the work done tomorrow, but we have to pick up a step ladder first. I can't reach the top on most sides.

I will be looking forward to seeing it in it's new colors when you are done. I know it will look good. It looks good now but should look even better after your finished.

Thanks Rita,
I decided I needed to plant it before the roses got big enough to cause problems. I'm glad I did, because the azaleas on the lower side were annoying to paint past. I won't have all the trim done tomorrow (nail holes), but I should have most of the base painting done. I do like the way it is shaping up.
