Deck Blues

I have finally succumbed to all this incredible sunshine and taken on a outdoor house project. We are painting the back deck Robin's Egg blue. My first instinct was to go for a Brick Red color, but apparently that was a popular choice as Spenard's has run out of the pigment. I thought about Espresso brown or Cape Cod gray, but decided I wanted something a little more dramatic. It's not too outrageous, looks nice against the green grass, and the kids certainly love it. Now if we can just squeeze out one more weekend of sunshine I can finish the job. Photos above are my fierce painting crew at work.

Hi - I found your blog searching for Kodiak blogs. My husband and I are considering accepting a job at the CG base. We are thinking about coming out to visit for a couple days and are wondering how the locals do it. (Fly to Anchorage then take a Ferry or just fly straight to Kodiak, etc etc??) Would you mind answering some other questions about living in Kodiak as well ? If so please email me - thank you so much! Teaque
