Hi all!! How has your week been? Ours is fine, and the weather is gorgeous today. Lots of work going on here at the moment, and I'm considering going to a hotel for a few days. 😄 😜 We have two men painting today, and all three doors are open (since they are the things being painted). The breeze is nice, but we have a few bugs now. There are two tree guys here, and they're using chain saws and wood chipper, and whew! Oh, and the country music station is being played at a fairly loud volume. I think I'm going to have to put some cotton in my ears. 😉 In all seriousness, these men have been just great. They've been good workers, and so very amenable about what we want done, as well as being courteous, too. The exterior of the house is looking good now, but there's still a lot of cleanup to do. I'm so excited now about getting our new roof. That should be the icing on the cake. Isn't paint a wonderful thing, though? Having the doors and all the trim work painted makes everything look clean and new. It's hard to show that with pictures, though, because all the tools and equipment are still sitting everywhere. I will share a few photos with you -- try to imagine how things will look when the yard and porch are cleaned up.
Hello again all! How has your week been? Ours has been busy, but overall good. Work continues on the house; we've selected a front door, and now we're looking at front porch light fixtures. We've also had two tree people by here this week to talk about taking down several big trees.
I wrote earlier about our house getting a "facelift." I don't think I mentioned in that previous post that the house turned 50 years old this year -- it was built in 1971. It was definitely time to make some repairs and improvements. We were actually ready to get started on this last summer, and then Covid came along.
Hi everyone -- I'm glad you're here! Can you believe it's June? We're almost halfway through another year. My Grandma once told me that the older you get, the faster time flies -- she was so right. Did you have a nice weekend? We did; I wanted to write a post for Memorial Day but just didn't get around to it. We've been awfully busy for the past week now. The work has begun on our house, and I hope to have some pictures for you soon. My mom kindly got me some fresh strawberries on Saturday. She lives a couple of miles from a strawberry patch, and most years she pays them a visit (or two). :) These were very pretty berries, and I appreciate her getting them for me. My mom buys the already picked strawberries, although you can pick your own there if you prefer.
