Leep Day 2008 *The House is Painted*

Well our leap day was not idle nor was it wasted :)
Ha!
I think God has something in the works here.
I am getting so excited about the future for my family

Cocooned into my home not even 24 hours after hiring the painter.
His team had a huge industrial job that started on this coming Tuesday.
If we were willing to start the job right away he would knock off $1400. in labor!
He came with such high reviews we accepted. He asked me not to tell how much our agreement was. It was a smoking deal They used Dun Edward paint with additive to make it water proof. High end paint on the house and we paid a little extra for the high end paint on the fence wall.
They started Thursday at noon (power washing it),
and finished Today Friday at 4 P.M.!
It was a 5 man ,1 woman crew.
They still need to come back to do the front door for the fellow said he needed to get the right stain. It was neglected on the contract but I had the owners word on it and I trust him to be of good Character!

They re-surface the patio roof as well. The dry wall tape had failed. It looks beautiful!
The prep and taping occurred as I was with beloved at the doctors. We had to leave the garages open with all my beads and stuff. I had to go to get the repertory help I needed. Sometimes ya just have to trust. I also prayed that wonderful prayer... that they would resist temptation:)

My tree is sick...
Please join me in saying a prayer for it. It is such an important part of our yard.

I love my color selection!

We walked around it several times and every flaw was cared for. Caulking in one hand and paint in another.
I just saw that down spout.
I need to get that trimmed in the body color up to the gutter.

The sweet fellow saw me trying to clean the porch and stopped me.
He even hosed off the patio for me.

Look how beautiful the master bedroom windows look.

We now need to tend to the yard and have it de-thatched.
I think we can rent one,
but I'm not pushing it. I am very allergic to grass.
