New house color!!

Say what?! That's right, we spent the weekend painting the EXTERIOR of the house a new color! It was a pretty last minute endeavor, but with the GORGEOUS weather we had (hello 80 degrees) we decided to go for it since Michael isn't completely swamped with appointments just yet. We tried 4 or 5 different color samples, and finally decided on the color "Zeus" with trim the color "sedate gray." We are completely done with the garage and only have trim and a second coat on a in a tiny spot on the house left. Otherwise we are done with 2 coats on the rest of the house and everything on the garage! We also have to finish painting 4 doors on the house; the door color is "black fox".
It was a big project and we had lots of visitors both days while working. The only big oops we had was when Michael almost died. He was moving the very heavy, 40 foot ladder when his foot slipped. The ladder slipped as well and landed on the power line. Luckily, after 4 bounces it didn't snap and Michael escaped getting electrocuted and dying. YIKES!
On a happier note, here are some pics of the garage pre-new paint and post-new paint! (The old color is the fleshy color in one pic. There are 3 pics of the new color.)
