It is believed the first tulips in the United States were grown near Spring Pond at the Fay Estate in Lynn and Salem, Massachusetts. From 1847 to 1865, Richard Sullivan Fay, Esq., one of Lynn's wealthiest men, settled on 500 acres (2.0 km2) located partly in present-day Lynn and partly in present-day Salem.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor. For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint.
A. For a relatively smooth surface, like old paint in good condition, or primed wood, it generally takes about 1 gallon per each 400 square feet. Thus, measure the space to be painted and calculate the area in square feet. Divide the area by 400 to get the number of gallons per coat. Rough surfaces like stucco will take much more paint, and one gallon may do only 200 square feet, so use 200 sq. ft./gallon for this type surface.
