THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Here is the finished product.



She looks SO much better than before... imagine bare wood, concrete with cracks in it, no trim paint, and white dirty, chipping paint. We found out today that she passed the inspection with flying colors. The appraiser called us and told us it looks like a new house and that he didn't think we'd be able get it fixed and painted that fast. We really have to give a BIG HUGE thank you to our family... to my dad for tearing out the crazy electrical mess, to Brittney for helping wash, scrape and scrape and scrape, to Jaleen and Elvon for masking and taping, to Jim for EVERYTHING, Jon's dad for being a wonder with the paint gun, and to ALL of Jon's family who came down on the 4th of July and finished the painting so we could go to Idaho for my birthday! Thank you so much! We REALLY appreciate all your work and hope that we can repay you somehow-- you better take advantage of it, or such an offer may never come again. :)


The back patio, painted and looking a lot less mint green!

This house looks so sweet and homey. I can just smell bread baking when I look at it. It's perfect for you, Heather. And your fluffy chickens.
