What changes here
Mandeville sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain under a heavy live oak canopy, and shade is what decides how an exterior here ages.
Under the canopy
Shade keeps moisture on a wall long after the sun has moved off it. Under a heavy oak canopy the recoat window stretches out, and the shaded elevation is the one that sets the schedule for the whole house.

The four areas we are in most often, and what each one does to a paint film.
The lakefront grid of older houses. Deep porches, exposed rafter tails and a lot of hand work on trim.

Known locally for its oaks. Same story as Beau Chêne, and the same north-wall problem.
Closer to the water, where overnight moisture is the constraint on start times more than temperature is.
