I'm not buying the paint. I have chips. I know what color family I want. I will ask Jesus if he thinks the color we chose will be good. We are keeping the green trim but I'm easy on that.

He is going to do this. I can see his house from mine. I know that he isn't going to screw up. He has painted and roofed houses up and down this street and others around here. He also does siding and gutters and he will be doing some of that here. > > Julie's response: > "In this area, paint jobs don't last very long anyway." What? I never said that at all! Paint jobs last a very long time here. We don't get severe weather. I have no clue when this house was painted prior. We've been here for 10 years and the paint is beginning to chip on the trim around the garage door. But that's not the reason why we are getting it painted. The soffit had to be replaced in several places and some of the siding has rotted on the back house. Reason unknown in some cases. But due to bufoonery on the part of a person who shall go unnamed but was not me in the other instance. Angela was the one who spotted the buffoonery and immediately reported it to me. |

If they are not, please elucidate? We both know what she means. She is treating us as though we are stupid. I also think that most people don't write letters and then go back later to see if they are happy with them. Or messages. Proofreading? Yeah. But if they really do what she claims she is doing, then I think they have a problem. |

Once again, someone assumed that I needed help and tried to give it to me. If you want to call that "blowing him off", then...whatever. I see offering "help" when none was asked for as being rude. Obviously, if there were some sort of emergency, that would be different. That's not the case here. I mention my car, and people here tell me what I should have done differently. I mention shopping and I am told that I could have done that differently. And now I mention paint and I get the offer of suggestions. In Gary's case, I don't think he was trying to be mean or rude. In the case of some others, such as you, I know that you were. People here just seem to think I am stupid and childish and are responding as such. Again... Whatever. |

I use it more as an ingredient. I used to buy two. Mild and hot. I used mild for what Angela and I ate and if I wanted a little more heat to mine, I added the jalapeno sauce. Now that she liked spicier food, I use medium for all. Husband likes hotter but he has a hot sauce assortment that he can use. In this area there is no pico de gallo that tastes good. It all kind of reminds me of Rotel. Not that Rotel is bad but it is cooked. And if I want pico de gallo, I want that nice fresh taste. I have also never had it mild. But I have had it a bit too hot for me. |

Although I guess people's brains process differently. My thoughts come so quickly that I would have no need to think them through and write them down. But I do know some people who seem to have such difficulty in forming thoughts that it can take them three minutes just to get one sentence out. And if I am not going to express myself to someone in sentences, I don't even have to fully think the thing through. I just know. Kind of hard to explain and if your brain doesn't work this way, you won't get it. |

One day, scientists will invent an alternative to > paint, and make Bothell a better place to live. But I did not say that. Somehow it got posted to look like he was quoting me. In fact, the opposite is true. I can remember one of my husband's relatives freaking when we said that we were buying a house. We were told to get vinyl siding or we'd be painting every few years. This person lived on PA. I gather that vinyl siding is the norm in that part of the country or at least wished for. It's not often used here and probably isn't a good thing to have because of the dampness. But from what I can gather, the things that make paint not last are hail, sun, extreme temps and perhaps heavy wind. We might get hail 1-3 times a year and when we get that, it's usually over in a few seconds. Haven't had snow to speak of for several years. Have far more overcast days than sun. And our temps are rarely over 90 or much below freezing. Many people do paint every 10 years or so, perhaps if only because they want to change the color. But if you use a good semi-gloss or satin paint, you can probably get 15-20 years out of it. You may only need to do touch up as my mom did on hers to the soffit. Because it is damp and shady here, it would behoove people to use that kind of paint. I see that the trend is towards flat. I am bucking that trend. Semi gloss is easily washable. Flat isn't. |
