As many already know
... they are painting my house plum red. plum red is code for dark purple:



Purple is a fairly dominant color in my life and I am all for a purple house. But, I was hoping a little more vibrant shade. This just seems mopey, and potentially very hot. Some of my neighbors have already complained that it makes the alcove our bathrooms all share dark and gloomy.

That said, I am v. excited about storm windows and in-house laundry. oh, and a new roommate!

whoa. Are Todd and David and Patrick the ones painting the place? or did they hire it out? Also in house laundry? Storm Windows? Holy shit. are they fixing the whole place up?

Damn. I'm not a fan.

Not a fan of the color that is. I'm glad to hear of the investments/improvements.

yeah, like i said... i'm not huge on it either. Which is a shame because I LOVE purple. My biggest problem with it is that the painter painted all of windows shut! and hasn't been back to fix it in days. the rain that prevented his work only stood to make the house more muggy.

Yay to much needed improvements. I am starting on my 5th year here, I think and it's already better than ever.

Kyle, TD&P are not doing it - contracted it and the scraping out. We had so many weird runins with the scrapers because it is pretty invasive work around the windows. one incident, where they charged the porch very early int he morning felt a little reminiscent of Brazil. They were incredibly nice, though.

oh, and kyle, your old unit is for rent again - it's time to move back!

Kyle and Audrey are moving back! Yes! Maybe I'll come back too!
