Home Improvements

Hello all, my apologies again, still no pictures will be attached as I need to buy something to attach the SD card to the computer. I promise that is on my list for next week. Anyways, we have been busy bee's these last few weeks. We moved in our new house and got right to work. After unpacking we decided to paint some of the house. We bought sample colors for the interior and exterior and tried just to put the sample up inside. This led to an all weekend painting affair. The kitchen, family room and hallways are now painted as well as some accents on the exterior of the house. I love it. What $100 in paint will do. Now we have our home, verses the home that grandma used to live in. We will actually paint the exterior when the weather gets cooler. Somehow, it didn't make Bill's To Do list of sweating his ass off painting after he spends all day in 100 degree heat during the week. Who really wants to do that on the weekend? Anyways, we spent this last weekend getting a new dinning room table (beautiful it conversts from square to oval and round, and can hold 6 people easily) and switching some fixtures around the house. We also have a very generous neighbor. One of our neighbors had an old swing set in his back yard and asked if we would be interested in it. He told us if we can move it from his yard to ours, we could have it. So down went the fence between the two and a little bleach and clorine later we have a swing set that is good as new. Bill and I are still planning on buying some new hardware to replace the chains on the swings, but it looks great. Garrett went out to play on it the first night and spent about an hour out there. Bill taught him how to swing like an airplane (you know on your belly). He has had so much fun running around in the back yard playing and swinging. I can't wait to see all the adventures that he has back there.
