After the wet June, I finally finished most of the painting in July.   I’m just about finished at this point, all that’s left is to do a bit more of the trim.  For the garage we had originally planned on replacing the siding, as we didn’t like the vertical wood boards, and they aren’t in the best shape.  However we had wanted to replace it with Fiber Cement siding but Lowes has a minimum order of about $1000 worth, far more than we needed.  Instead I just replaced the trim around the garage and a bit of the gutters.  Jess helped out by painting all of the shutters too!  Now all that’s left is to replace the roof so it matches the house.
