Painting the Victorian's Exterior Video

Bob checks out painter Mike Suarez spraying water-based stain on the exterior. In a counter intuitive approach Mike starts out low and works his way up the side of the house. This is to get the bottom side of each shingle. They put on two coats of the water-based stain from Sears. The first one thinned down so it deeply sinks into the wood. Bob takes a tour of Martha’s Vineyard with paint consultant Sherry Hiller to look at local color schemes. Bob visits the most often photographed house on the vineyard, the Wooden Valentine, in shades of pink. These are not traditional Victorian colors but are historic to the Campground area’s “Ice Cream Shop” colors.
