Can't you just see it?!
Imagine that BEAUTIFUL rock on our front patio & garage...

More Magnificent Machines!!

What a Waste!

Who would throw away a perfectly good house like that?!

Green... with Envy

And... We have...
COLOR!!!
We got the 'keys' above the windows and doors (incl. the garage)
and the 'quoins' on the corners.
'Welcome'
(Imagine that somewhere here...)
--- and a plant and a bench... ---


And rain gutters were installed the next day!

Ta-daa!

No More See-Through Walls!

Our home LOOKS like a home!
No more trying to see the rooms through the sticks.
Our Entry
Our Kitchen/Dining
(they clean up real nice... see below pic of work in progress...)
Our nook
Dane's Shadow Box
(I'll show you what'll go there later...)
I caught some pictures while the work was still in progress...
Our archways...
(and we got that bent board supported -
and even another wall that was missing the support...
Thanks Dad & Uncle George!)
80 Degrees and mud on the walls!
Our 3rd arch...
We have the rounded corners... looks real nice!

Does Jenn REALLY work on the houses?!

Of course she does!
See that hand? That's her thumbs up sign!
Today, she painted baseboards.
Why? Who knows, they just say it needs done.
Aha! There she is.
Who took this picture?!
(A nice guy by the name of Tim...
Yeah, Tim Eron Thewin Dowsill.)
(Aka - Timer on the Window Sill)
;)

Scaffolding on the LAST house...

What in the world is this???
(pssst... it's a sign that more work has been done on our home!)
That's called soffit, my friends!
And the gray walls of stucco to go with it.
(Gray is the base coat.)
WAIT!!!
The garage door? Brown??
I didn't think so either.
Here, they thought they could slip that brown door
on our home without our knowing...
little did they know...
We told them what we thought of their sly, sneaky ways.
(Now we don't have ANY garage door...
but white SHOULD be on its way.)
Scaffolding around our house... FINALLY!!
That's a NICE attic vent.
