Finished Product!

Well, after lots of planning and two long days for our awesome painter, Josh, we finally have a painted house! I am thrilled with the outcome. It finally looks like a finished home and not like a construction zone. As Jeremy put it, hopefully this will tide me over for a while. Until we have the money for the next project, that is. :) So, the moment we've all been waiting for: pictures! The first one is at the beginning of the process, so you can see the old "color" and the new.

Beginning of day two. Today was mostly touch-up and trim work.

The finished product!

The front of the garage will have rock on it some day, so that's why the trim doesn't go all the way down. View from the street.

The king and his castle (although you can barely see the king on the deck!).

Last night we were able to finally enjoy the outside of our house. We spent some time out on the back deck and just relaxed. It was really nice until a bat dive-bombed me!! That was my cue to head inside...but it was great while it lasted!
