With a leash we could gently guide him out and put him safely in his crate. The funny thing is that he loves his crate (and always had) but he just used to get so flustered when he knew we were leaving. xo, s

Hope it helps! xo, s

I thought it would be an easy job, good thing I know to allow a little time! Did it damage what was underneath? Or was it an easy take down and that's it? I'm concerned we'll take it down and then have to put something else up after we remove it and I have no idea what to use!

And you can take them down to paint them, but we actually left ours in place and had no problem getting into all the little nooks and crannies with a paint brush. You may want to tape off the house around them so you don't get any paint on the brick or the siding, but we didn't even do that and we were a-ok (just go slow and steady and use a good quality angled brush for accuracy). Hope it helps! Happy painting... xoxo, Sherry

I have been dying to paint our shutters. This might be a silly question, but did you take them off the brick to paint them? Or leave them up? What kind of paint did you use? I am worried about it chipping off. Thanks! I know this is an old post, but i’m just exploring on my lunch break! I have been dying to paint our shutters.
