that is.
until now!
The drywallers are gone, mudding and sanding done and the painter (J.F or F.J or something like that) shows up today and starts priming the house. Starting with the ceilings in the garage and house I believe.
Also, the Hardy board siding (composite of wood, fiber, concrete and glue) showed up last week. The
garage is 1/2 done and the house close to 1/2 as well. Painted at the factory (to give us the 25 year
warranty) in Boothbay Blue. It looks amazing. Big decision picking the siding without really seeing what it looks like, then all of a sudden, it's a plastered (nailed actually) all over your house. We made a solid decision and are both happy with the colour. More grey than blue I think.
Painting will take a week and a bit, the siding another week, then it's flooring time and cabinet time. Here a couple pics of the siding, not sure if you'll really get the 'gist' of the colour, but don't complain!
Landscaper came by yesterday to scope it out...we're doing a retaining wall around the front of the house. Stones or garden ties, not sure of that (that'll be a $$ decision) but it'll be nice and semi-private.
that's it.
The kids are great, Cash is growing (the boy, not the bank account). Maddie is amazing and enamored
with her little brother. She "loves him cause he's a baby, he's small and he's her brother". Oh, Maddie also told me the other day (it was raining out) that
it was "friggin' yucky out'.
Time to watch our mouth's at home a little closer I guess.
