This week our home has been getting a face lift.
The sides of the home have had some serious dry rot going on...this last summer my kids were throwing a ball in the backyard and it hit the house and literally left a hole. Due to years of moisture and an original backyard that had flooding problems the siding was no longer durable. Unfortunately like anything with owning a home, fixing it was necessary and having to pay for it is unavoidable.
This week we were finally able to fix it...at least a quarter of the siding had to be replaced. And again like anything with owning a home, usually when you go to fix something a domino effect happens. In this case, the house needed to be repainted...
I came home from work today to a new home...or at least it looked and felt like one...
We decided to go with a completely different color...I love it!!!!!
I love that it is motivating me to tackle some other unfinished projects inside the house...
Whooohoooo...next up...turning brown grass into green grass...Stewarts we need you!!!!!! :)
Just a thought...Maybe thats what I need...a face lift...and maybe that would motivate me to tackle the extra weight that needs to be lost...mmm...just a thought.
