It's been ten years and we're finally getting our porch/ramp painted

In the winter of 2007 my husband went into the hospital for the first time, and we discovered that he had no blood flow to his right leg. This was due to a blood clot in his thigh. A by-pass was done and the tissue looked good for a while but he had many complications and ended up losing that leg below his knee. Until the about he wasn't able to put weight on his right for for gangrene head set in. Our neighbors helped lift him from the house down the three steps the the ground and back up again which took making sure they were gone each time we had an appointment. We got a friend to build us the ramp later that spring and never had the extras funds to paint it until this year. We did pretty good matching the color with the brick and when it's finished I'll get a picture of it facing the house. I did a little painting this afternoon after returning from cleaning windows. We're trying to get the spindles done first and then will do the railing and finally the surface we walk on. We're hoping to be done before the leaves start falling. In these three views it's mostly the spindles that are painted and not much else.
