House Projects

I know it has been a while since I have updated the blog. B was gone this last weekend with J's parents to the TC's, which allowed D and I to get started on all of our house projects. Without pictures of B we don't have much to post.

As you know we will more than likely be moving sometime at the beginning of the year, so we are doing several projects to improve and add value to the house. A 30 year old house has its difficulties.
We had some rotted boards to replace, which included some of the siding. We had hoped to replace all of the siding, but couldn't justify putting all of that money into the house just to turn around and sell it.

The siding at least needs to be repainted. We were planning on scraping it all with a pressure washer, however, with 30 year old siding it takes a bit more experience than either D or I possess. Here is a small portion of what I scraped. We new that we would not have time to do all the scraping and were planning on hiring someone to paint. We found someone who will do it for a price we are willing to pay. . . I was willing to pay almost any price as I would be doing all the scraping for weeks to come.

B loves all the time we are spending outside. She likes to help with all the projects.

Her help includes trying to help Daddy disperse of this pile of dirt from digging out a window well. We are putting in an egress window.
