More work on the house

This time, its time to work on the outside of the house, but since the house is 3 stories at the driveway, its not something we'll be tackling ourselves. Our handy-dandy do-it-all handymen came on Thursday and pressure washed the house, then started staining on Friday. They ran through the first 5 gallons of stain fairly quickly - they say the house is drinking up the stain. Well, that is a large very exposed surface. Here you can see the difference in colors:

The brown in the middle is the original color of the house and the redder color is the new color we chose.

We had thought they were going to work some more this weekend, but evidently not. I hope we'll be seeing them early tomorrow morning.
