eaves

Last year, I bought a house. My first house that I have ever owned in my whole life.

It is hard to believe that I have been living in the house for more than a year. Time does fly. I plan to live there for the next three years and think about moving. Anyway, it is an old house. How old? It is almost 100 years old. Pretty crazy, huh? When I first bought it, I noticed that there are things that I need to fix or update. One of them was painting the exterior. Some of the paint were coming off and that would cause an issue to the wood.

This summer, I hired a guy, Jason, to repaint it. When he first visited my house to discuss the price, we walked around the house to see where exactly that he needs to paint. Well, I basically told him, “That part, this part!,” pointing them. Then, he said, “Oh… you want all of the eaves to be painted.” Honestly, I did not know what eaves are but definitely could see that it is the word to mean the lower edges of the roof.

Well, I do have an excuse to not to know that word. As I told you, this is my first house ever owned. Why would I need to know those words, right? So many words around the house. I think I will write a series for those. So, stay tuned.

Do you have  your house? How are your eaves? Hope they are in good condition!
