One Word: Exhausted!

It was time to paint the house and we started with a fresh slate… But the color we picked made some people uncomfortable. A little on the dark side, yes, but we knew we had to be bold to stand apart from the houses in the neighborhood. So we started early on Saturday morning.

IMG_3100 With paint brushes and rollers in hand, nine people (and Alexis) tackled the house. We had beautiful weather! Some were up high…

Others worked down low. IMG_3098

And Alexis & Noah did some entertaining…IMG_3102 IMG_3113 IMG_3117 IMG_3121 IMG_3122

By the end of the day Sunday, the whole house was covered at least once and we were more than half done with the second coat. Once that’s finished, we’ll start on the trim… it’s virtually the same color as the windows.

We can’t thank our family enough for all the help!!!!

Thanks, Mom, Dad, Tom, Rose, Brent, Carissa, & Kris!

The areas that aren’t sided on the front of the house and garages are getting stonework. I’m putting that on order Monday and our contractor will install once it comes in. Then he’ll put in the driveway & sidewalk, grade the land so we can landscape, install gutters, air conditioner and that should be about it! As you can imagine… WE CAN’T WAIT!
