House Repairs

We have painters all over the outside of our house this week. They have a lot of work to do: Trim is blistering. Shutters are looking shabby. Wood pillars are sprouting mushrooms (seriously!).  Here's the one of the French doors that lead to our backdoor patio:

Euww! Most of that chewed-up wood is the painters' work. They're digging out rotten wood so they can fill it in with new bits and epoxy sealer.

Won Ton is making sure they do a good job:

Some of the wood is so far gone, you can see right through to the inside. The painters had to remove a LOT:

Don't worry, Won Ton! These guys are good. They know what they're doing.

Even so, Won Ton intends to stick close by, to be sure "his" French doors are done properly.
