Thanks, squirrelheaven, I am thrilled. Yep, the door was accidentally painted semi gloss white like the trim instead of the artichoke on the shutters. Also, the shutters on the far left of the house as you look at it are too short for the windows. I assumed all the windows except for the new ones on the side were the same size-but the ones on the second story to the left are about 6" taller. Oh well, it can't be that bad if you eagle eyed ladies missed it. Yeah, the weird shutter in the middle-can't really do anything about it except space the gap between the two windows... My neighbor says to leave the door white and just put a big green wreath on the door (if I wasn't planning on selling it that door would be pumpkin tomorrow!!!LOL) I'm thinking in my next house (maybe next year) I want to do a pumpkin colored dining room. My husband says that's fine as long as I hire a guy to paint because I'm the messiest painter *ever*.

Marie, we could use a photo please?

Please post pic.

My sister had to use a heat gun to remove paint on a area of her home that was in bad shape for repainting, sanding would have been impossible. It was peeling and lifting on most of the south side of home. It is at least 60+ year old home but wood inself in good shape, unbelievablely good, it is redwood, not a speck of rot even where there should have been. It was only on the south facing, lap wood siding. Time consuming, at least it wasn't a huge area. Yes, redwood siding, I had never heard of this in Minnesota before. And they were thinking of residing rather than deal with some areas of peeling.
