A Variety of Tasks Over the Weekend

We got several different project finished this weekend.

On the outside, Mom finished painting the cracks and spaces the roller couldn't reach on the front of the house.


We have one exterior wall left to fill the cracks on and paint.  Plus, all the trim work.

Dad moved dirt away from one side of the house to keep it protected from the elements.


We got a lot done inside.  We finished the texture around the door and got the texture around the window ready to paint.



We got the areas primed.


And painted.


We also got the blinds up.  Now, all the windows are properly covered.



We also finished the ceiling and floor moulding now that the last work on the walls was finished.


Another major task was Mom and I removing the front ramp thing.  This is what it looked like beforehand.  Quite ugly.


We put in a couple hours of destruction and black widow killing.



The end result.  Looking much better.  Still has some painting and column work to do, but it's definitely an improvement.  Although, Dad keeps forgetting it's no longer there and tripping as he comes out the door.


Dad also put in some GFI outlets.  Things are moving right along.  At this point, the inside is virtually finished with the spring/summer plan.  We still need to do the kitchen tile and trim and rehang the linen closet doors.  On the outside, we need to finish the exterior paint and trim and get the electric panel replaced (in process of getting scheduled).  When those things happen, we'll be finished with this phase of improvement!

Things on the longer term to do list:  redo bathroom shower, reroof, tear down random garden room.  So amazing!!
