Who knew it could be so hard to pick a green?

Color continues to be a vexing problem for me. (Not only picking them for the house, but my camera is on the blink and adding special colors to many shots.) As for the house, I originally picked three colors to try out - as you can see below, none of them really worked that well. And this picture was taken in the morning when the marine layer was heavy -- they looked much worse in the bright sunlight. It was back to the drawing board and a meeting with the painter, and I have two more to try out. I know I'll find it eventually, but I think Dave the painter is worried, so he suggested painting the garage first, in case I don't like it, it wouldn't be such a big deal to repaint.

And, the stove is outside so that they could put primer on the kitchen inside. All bright and shiny, waiting for tomorrow's cabinet arrival!
In the meantime, the deck materials are being installed. I didn't get home tonight in time to get my camera working well enough to get any good pictures, but the long planks for the decks are ready to be installed.
