New construction painting has many twists and turns! #housecolors #colordesign #sherwinwilliams

What happens here

After completing the detailed trim work, reposition the ladder or use another stable elevated platform (not fully visible) to access the main surface of the gable siding, which appears to be a shake-style siding. Use the small paint roller to efficiently cover these larger areas. Ensure the paint is applied evenly and thoroughly into the texture of the siding by pressing lightly and making multiple passes. Work methodically to maintain a wet edge and prevent unsightly lap marks.

Goal: Cover the gable siding with paint
