House projects!

 This is how the house looked when we bought it. It was an ugly yellow house...(wait it is still yellow..we hope a hail storm comes through so we can change the siding!)

 This summer we added plants, purple shutters and a purple door(thanks to Sherwin Williams for putting my favorite color into a spray can!) new screen door, new light fixtures and new edging!  and we lost a piece of siding above the garage(the lowest big has been $450 for that one piece, not doing that, Just waiting till Steve can rent the machine to get the job done for about $50..

 Steve and his dad build us a new gate. About 2 weeks after we moved in the wind blew ours over...and we also moved the gate up about 15feet. Giving us more room to store our junk:-)

 We stared the prep work in the back yard. If the ground doesn't freeze to early on us we are hoping to get the pipe down for the sprinkler system. 

So far in the back yard we have planted trees, redone the deck, leveled the ground  and took all the rock that surrounded the back yard out. 

And next spring we will have grass!

Hopefully buying a fixer up'er will be worth it in the end when we turn around and sell it!
