a shade of grey
painters have been here the last two days. structural steel (red iron) is now a light gray.
(before is above, after is below)
the color is a bit lighter than what I had originally wanted. I think the light color looks great inside, but for exterior it could be a shade darker.
but since the lighter color will heat up less in the afternoon sun... I'm happy with it. the steel does have some thermal transfer on the west side of the house when afternoon direct light is quite intense. with tripple digits temps every little bit helps.
we are almost ready to call for pool inspection. stone masons are supposed to do their magic this week. however, there is a chance of rain for the next two days.
