Possible color for house

This is the sage in the full sun and the bottom pic is in the shade more. I can't decide if I think it's too green or not. This is hard.

We like the one of the far left and the navy would be the door color.

Ugly brown shingles are gone

Look above the big window! Those ugly brown "cottage" shingles are gone. I am so excited to see them removed.

They should be done with all the siding today and then they will start on the rest. Tonight we need to make a decision on the paints. All of this makes me really happy. My house needed this for so long.

BTW, to see the before picture with the ugly brown shingles you can scroll down my blog.

Yard work weekend

Before I trimmed the bushes



After



And I have a question that hopefully someone knows the answer to. We have this monster vine on the side of the house that we want to get rid of. Anyone know the easiest way to do this. The thing is a monster and we hate it. It's always out of control and gets tangled in the crepe myrtles.

More pics of siding on my flickr account

They worked all day and have the back of the house almost done. I am guessing they will finish the front this weekend and then work on replacing all the old trim. Hopefully we can decide on paint colors before Monday because I don't have a lot of time to look during the week. I feel like I am getting a whole new house!

I have more pictures of the work being done on the house on my flickr page which can be found on the right column if you are interested.

Happy Friday.

New siding started today

YAH! They started yesterday and I couldn't be happier. So far, so good....

Sunday

We had a beautiful day. The weather is still very hot here so toes in the water are a must...



Thank you for the comments on my son's eczema. We are going to try out the suggestions and hopefully will see an improvement. Thankfully he was able to be outside and not scratch all day.

Help with eczema?

I love seeing my son outside playing sports but the poor little guys eczema is so bad. He scratches to the point that he breaks the skin. The entire game he stands on the field and just rips apart his legs.

I am going to set up a doctor appointment for him first thing Monday morning to see if there is anything else we can do about it. Right now he has two meds but they just don't help.

Anyone know of anything?? Maybe in a pill form?


During the game

After the game

We returned the lawnmower

So we ended up returning the lawnmower back to Lowe's after trying to work with the "warranty people" for over a month. I can't believe what an ordeal it was trying to get that thing fixed when we only had it for a month. What horrible customer service.

I tore up that credit card!

We went to Home Depot and bought a Toro instead. So far, so good.

My son's bed

This is the bed that was in the attic for 9 years.
