We're going to paint the exterior of the house when the weather gets cooler and we've been trying to decide what color to paint it. Our house is blue now - kind of a grey-blue and we want to keep it blue, but what shade of blue?
We've been checking out paint swatches at Home Depot here in Sebastian and we bought a few 8 oz. paint samples from them. Then we were down in Vero at Lowe's and stopped by their paint department and found a couple of shades of blue we liked and bought some samples from them.
Mike took all of the bottles of paint samples and painted them on one of the back walls of the house, so we now have 6 2' squares of different shades of blue on the wall. We've checked to see how the different shades look at different times during the day. We've finally narrowed it down to one of the samples we bought from Lowe's. Mike took the sample bottle into Home Depot and they were able to match the paint exactly. Home Depot has Lowe's and Sherwin Williams' paint formulas in their system and can mix up the same colors and shades.
Mike had to replace the blades on our riding lawn mower and ordered them from Sears and then he needed to replace a pulley and he found that on the internet. I think he has replaced just about all of the parts on the lawn mower that can be replaced. I'm not sure how old the mower is because it is one my brother had and he gave it to us when we bought our house since he was no longer using it.
