the remaking of a kitchen

paul and the boys finished painting our house at a bit after noon today. woohoo. it feels good to have it done, but it looks a lot better too. the siding is still old, but i guess it will stay that way.....warts and all just like us. :)
tomorrow it's off to colorado for the family reunion.....sounds good to me.

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.
