I've found that here too. Our house is brick, but had two additions when my husband's parents owned it and they are both wood sided. The last time my husband re-painted, I hadn't noticed how much it needed painting till it was done and looked so much better. There's always at least one project needing to get done, isn't there? :-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858720522828231380noreply@blogger.com
