PROJECT UPDATE

Brad has completed the first phase of reconstruction on the front step!!! So far so good. I can stop worrying about people walking up the stairs...falling...breaking a limb and suing...Second phase (primer and granite finish) to start once the rain has stopped.

First phase of the rain barrel is also complete. Wire mesh and screen are bolted to the top (to keep kids and mosquito's out). Now we just have to paint it to looks nice and blends in!!! Hopefully we don't get SO much rain that we can't move the barrel in order to paint...

...Crummy weather brings inside projects...

This weekend...paperwork (no fun but accomplished)...yeah for us!

...Painting of the downstairs rec room has commenced!!! Hello "Washed Clay"...Okay, okay...it may not sound too attractive, but it is a really great shade of BEIGE...ish!!! I've run into problems with this paint project but with any luck another coat or two will do the trick. If not, we will put furniture in the room, hang pictures over the imperfections and call it good. Might also have to implement a candle light only rule...

Brad re-stained our deck furniture...and I must say ...I am very impressed!!! It looks perfectly new!!! I can't wait to see how it stands up to rain and intense sun light! The brand of stain boasts a 5, 10 and 15 year warranty...I can't remember what patio furiture falls under...

We also picked the color for our deck (to be painted)...as it is on the project list for this year...It's a great shade of green...but we won't be able to start that for a few weeks yet...

That about brings us up to speed on the project list...I'll be sure to post pics as we accomplish each project!!!

Cheers,
