I have been painting the garage for a while now. I painted the white trim, and the windows with white primer, then I painted the whole side of the garage with gray primer. Now I have started all over again, with a finish coat of white for the trim, and then the glossy gray finish for the shingles. I still have a ways to go - painting those "muntins" in the diamond windows takes forever. I had never heard the term "muntin" before. I thought they were called "mullions." Turns out that mullions are only the vertical dividing elements in a window. Don't you love how much you can learn here? Don't the shingles look beautiful now that they are painted?

Yes I do learn so much on your blog and I admire your hard work.

I am very impressed with your garage painting project. Scraping, priming and finishing with a nice thick coat of gloss paint should extend the life of the building by another twenty years!
It occurred to me that twenty years from now you might be moving a little bit slower, so I will offer my assistance to help you with your next garage painting project. Typically, New York in June has great weather. I will make a note on my calendar to keep the month of June 2038 clear should you need me. No charge for my labor - but "three hots and a cot" would be appreciated!
SO Much Work!! Wow! Impressive! It looks great. Never even heard of a "muntin". Amazing what I learn on your blog...betsey
