the remaking of a kitchen

project of the week: house painting, by someone other than ourselves. what a great idea! we spent a week or so muttering about colors, had input from brian and continued to mutter, but by gosh we made a timely decision. that would be once. the main color is similar to the existing, and we are using a lighter value for the soffit. we are tres cool! :)
two marvelous things are the removal of the DIAMONDS that are not this girl's best friend, and the removal of the tacky trellisy thing on the front porch. as we speak they are both absent, and you can plainly see that at one point the poor house was a brilliant turquoise. elvis would have loved it. we are undecided as to whether we want to put a post from soffit to planter or leave it as is. paul the painter suggested we leave it for a couple of weeks and if we want the post, he'll come back. works for me.
i'm looking forward to seeing the panels in place replacing diamonds....should be a nice update. hopefully. the painting should be completed before we leave for colorado. YES!
i am thinking i may want tree removal as an anniversary present. we are on a roll here! ohhhh....the nice inspector gave us the seal of approval on the furnace install after the pvc pipes became the 3 inch variety. sigh.
