Tom, it is Kris Turley now Pepicello.  I remarried last year to a wonderful man on a beach in Hawaii. His name is William (Bill) Pepicello and he is the President of the University of Phoenix.  Long story on how we met, but he's a very welcome addition to my life.  All the kids really like him, which makes things very comfortable.

My question is this.  We just had the house repainted and the painter caulked all the cracks.  He told me that he uses a sponge to blend in the caulk and that it wouldn't show when it was painted.  Well, I'm sure you guessed it, the house looks terrible -- you can see every crack.  I hate to bother you because I know you are very busy, but do you think this can be rectified.  Would your stucco guy be able to do selective stucco repair on these areas?  I'm desperate because I don't want the house to look like it does and they put several coats of paint over the bad areas, and they still stand out.  

I would really appreciate any input you could give me.  They just finished the house last Friday, June 6th.  Any timely help or direction you can provide as I said, would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this finds you, Maggie and the kids well.  I'm sure they are all grown up by now.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
