Painting....the saga continues.....

A crew of guys is here today to pressure wash & paint the trim on the house and to paint over the new siding. Later in the day the other crew will be here to rebuild the deck. We were so happy to find there was no termite damage under the bad siding.

As you can tell, the house is still undergoing updating. I can't wait to see it when its all finished. I'll try to post new photos. So far my favorite thing about the house is the new door and the trees that we had removed. Of course I like the new flower beds as well....I guess I like it all LOL. We've lived here 20 years and with the exception of painting, reroofing, & the new carpet upstairs last summer this is the first time we've done such extensive upkeep chores.

We feel really good about doing this right now. The guys on the work crew have given us very fair prices and they are really happy for the work. Makes us feel like we are doing the right thing, not only for the house but for the economy. 

Mom and I are out to do a little recreational shopping. She likes to get out at least once a day and I don't mind hanging out with her as she shops. More tomorrow.
