I am thrilled to report that Hick has come to his senses! Mark the calendar! After so many attempts to nag him into submission sway his opinion reason by contrasting positives and negatives... HICK HAS SEEN THE LIGHT! He sent me a text on Tuesday morning. A picture from Bargain House:
"Color we are painting the side." It's a bit subdued here, with Old Buddy wielding the paintbrush, in the shadow of the rising sun.
I AM THRILLED!
Here's what it looked like back in February, when Hick first enclosed part of the porch and put in the back door:
Now the porch wood will match the color of the siding. And you can see, if you compare the two pictures, that Hick has upgraded the electrical entrance with a new box. That had to be done.
Right before he left home Tuesday morning, Hick had said, offhandedly, "I'm painting the back porch of the house yellow. I took a piece of siding and had them mix the paint to match."
I almost fainted! That was too good to be true. I wasn't counting any chickens until it actually happened. But then I got the picture. Evidence! It looks like a pretty good match.
"Looks great! Can you use it to paint the ceiling of the porch, too?"
"I think I want to paint it white."
TWO VICTORIES! Matching paint for the addition, and also paint for the porch ceiling. Hick thinks the back wall of the house will also be white, to match the porch.
Why did Hick change his mind? He was shocked to hear that "my people" thought the plain wood (or wood siding as he calls it) looked terrible! Hick said all his buddies think the wood looks good. Well. Does he really expect his buddies, who depend on him for assorted advice and trades and business, would be completely honest about their opinion?
Thanks so much for the unanimous opinion of the plain wood!
