Turns out the white parts of my house were originally light blue. Then yellow.
Yeah, I was dealing with the aftermath of the Downspout of Doom. Still not really finished, but I removed the mangled remains of the straps, scraped away the damaged and peeling paint in the vicinity, and applied primer (which conveniently is a fair match for the overall white paint).
I got to see the strata of paint, all the way back to nineteen-fifty-something.
Later, sometime, I'll need to seal up the hole I made for the hydraulic-mining operation, create new straps of correct dimensions for the little old downspout, install them, apply more primer over the straps, and then re-paint that whole section of wall properly.
While the can of paint is around, bits of the shed need a fresh coat. Mainly the doors.
But, for now, weather conditions are not conducive to further outdoor efforts.
