[QUOTE=zcaveman;260382]Besides that is what wives are for - pester the husband until he gets it painted. You know - the conversation that starts - "dear, the house is looking a little faded" and eventually escalates to "when are you going to do something about the house!!!". This conversation will range from one to several months depending on the resiliency of the husband.
Not always the husband doing the painting.
I convinced my husband that we didn't need to hire someone to paint our house (a Two story) that if we actually had enough days without rain (Seattle) I could do it. After about a month he came and said. "Trudy the areas you have painted look great but is there a reason you painted the first level all the way around the house." I admitted that when I climb the ladder I can't let go to paint as I am afraid of heights. Now I have to find someone to paint the top half of the house.
Now you know why my friends have nicknamed me Lolohead. (Hawaiian for nutty)
