We have color!!!

So this weekend was all about color. We finally got things together and started to get some colors on the wall. We at first we started with the primer, not that it's alot of color, but it's a start...


Now painting an entire house is no small task. We were fortunate enough to have some professional help come to assist us. Of course, he is all business and is very task oriented. He keeps mumbling something about his union, but I'm not entire sure what that is all about.

Here is hard at work. He's got one room done at this point, and only 7 more till he's finished.

We had a tremendous amount of help today. It's times like this that we really feel the love of our family and friends. It was because of their help in putting in a long work day, that we got everything done that we did today.







What a great weekend it was. As you can see we made some huge progress in making this house our home. It's amazing what a little coat of paint, and some color can do for a house.

On Friday while the weather was nice, I finished cleaning up the back yard, so we could put some grass seed down.

Now it looks like a yard instead of one huge mess. The ivy still has to be dealt with, but that will all come in time.

Yard waste anybody??

One of the biggest concerns was the trees in the back yard. They were so covered with ivy when we bought the house, that we weren't sure they were going to make it this spring, even if we did get all the ivy off of them.

Yea!! We have buds on our trees!! This makes me so happy. We really wanted this trees to make it through this remodel process. That way our backyard can be enjoyed to it's fullest!

All in all we had another great weekend, and even though we worked hard, at times we were goofing off just as hard. We had to follow our professional's example that he set for us.


It was a great weekend filled with hard work, fun, family and friends. Man life is good. We are sooo blessed!!
