Facelift

Todd is painting our house this week - bright white paint is giving way to 'clay beige,' which is kind of an army green. We spent a lot of time last year remodeling the inside but had not changed the outward appearance of the house until this week. The difference is dramatic. Todd has a new paint sprayer which has enabled him (and a helper) to do the outside of the house in two afternoons. Last year I was working alone in the front yard of the house before we ever moved into it. A van drove by and a kid screamed out the passenger side at me: "Ugggg-ly house!" I was annoyed. So I'm thinking of that kid today as the outward appearance of the house has improved!
