Front porch

Spent the day scraping, power washing and priming the front porch. A lot still to do, but it's great when neighbors stop by and express their appreciation for us tackling this huge project! More in the coming week since we'll be painting every evening until dark. 

Back at it...finally!

Now that Alan is retired, he's spent many more hours at the house working. His latest efforts include enlarging the upstairs bath to accommodate adding a shower. We're just stealing a 10 by 1 foot section of the new closet and it made a HUGE difference. 

Downstairs, I'm trying to finish removing the remnants of wallpaper on the inside walls and exposing the brick in the dining room. And repairing and painting the front porch! 

Thanks to CU Woodworking for a great reproduction of our column bases! And last but not least, I scored two Strawberry Vanilla hydrangeas and got them in the ground.
