It took 3 weeks to repaint the facade including the gate and dividing boundary walls because the earlier paint wore off after 8 years. It was much easier last time when I was younger, I guess age has caught up with me. The most difficult job was of course, painting the facade upstairs and to play safe, I would rest my back on the balcony flowerbed, paint with the pole and be extremely careful at the edge of the white border.
