Home Improvement Bliss!

Ok, so we've been here two years..so what, right? When you first move into a house, you have these grand endeavors all set up..what you'll do as soon as possible..it'll be great, right? WRONG! What happens when you find out you married "Mr. Not-So-Handyman" and you end up doing alot of it yourself? It takes a long time..and each project makes your muscles ache so badly you hope you'll remember the feeling before starting a new one.

When we first moved in, alot of "wall things" went onto pre-existing nails. "Oh, just stick it there...yeah yeah..that works until we paint.." Two years later, on those very same nails, all of our art hung. No, the walls never got painted. They remained the shiny dingy white that they were when we moved in.

My friends..that is no longer the case. After two years and several rooms later, I found Joe once again willing to help me paint. In record time, I might add, we managed to paint the two front rooms a beautiful shade of "baked scone"!! It feels warm and cozy and I can't believe we didn't do this sooner!! I feel like I've finally accomplished alot in this house. I think this is it for the summer..last big project..but we did this project sans arguing, sans pain..it was beautiful! I'm already looking forward to next summer's deck endeavor..an environmental and cost effective sanding of our deck!
