Hick Follows Through

Hick and Old Buddy continued painting the back porch area of Bargain House on Wednesday morning. When the ceiling of the porch gets a nice coat (or two) of white paint, it will make a nice little sitting area for BBQing, or watching kids or pets play in the back yard.


Now the house is all one (close enough) color. I think the white door itself will draw enough "attention" to that part when people drive by to look at it. That, and the little window.

Of course the siding will get a good scrubbing with Hick's power washer. He rarely has a chance to use that gadget, so it's not something he'll forget. I'm going to suggest that he does it soon, because winter is coming on, and nobody wants frozen vinyl siding! It might get brittle. 

With only the kitchen left to do inside, Bargain House might be going on the market during the winter months. So let's get the outside ready NOW! And finish up the inside when it's cold outside.

  1. It will look so much better with the siding scrubbed clean. Is the small window frame going to get painted?

    1. The small window frame has already been painted, though Hick didn't take another picture. I said that I liked it showing the wood. You know, because it "stands out" from the rest. Hick said it HAD to be painted. To protect the wood. So it's the same color as the house now. Just the little white portion that's part of the window remains white.

  2. I hope it gets done asap, before Hick's ladies come along with their winter related demands :p

    1. Yes! They might be asking Hick to bring in buckets of snow so they can build a snowman.

  3. Good plan, Val. And it does look quite nice.

    1. Thanks. It DOES look nice enough for a bargain property that will make somebody a safe, livable house, with a reasonable profit for Hick, Val, and The Pony.
