The chocolate milk house goes neopolitan

After nearly two years of groaning and moaning about our "chocolate milk house", so coined by Casey, who noted that with the brown roof, brown gutters, brown trim, and brown deck that it looked like someone had dumped a glass of chocolate milk on it.

We solved the roof issue in December with a nice new one with Tamko Mountain Slate shingles, not brown at all. A few weeks ago Phil helped me to start the prep work, and took out some large boxwoods that only served to hide the house. Yesterday, I embarked on painting the expanse of trim that fronts our 60's rancher. So now it's half brown and half a nice shade of french vanilla.
