The Label, It Lies
According to the paint buckets, we should have only needed two gallons to paint three sides of the house.
Three and a half gallons later, we have two sides of the house done. It's a pale peach-cream ("Sweet Sand") just a shade paler than the previous peach-cream. But the stucco cracks are finally hidden, and the house already looks a lot better. Both our neighbors came over and commented. One, we're not even sure he realized there'd been cracks on the house for, oh, a few years now....
And the Squiddle was very good during this process! Between changings and feedings, he played happily in his pack'n'play in the shade, enjoying the outdoors and trying to figure out what strange thing Mummy and Daddy were up to now.
