the OUTSiDE!

We've got a TON of things done to the inside of the house, and the next things for the inside are re-doing the bathroom, and one day the kitchen, and then in a Long time.. the add-on. for now its just little things. We decided to start workin on the Outside. its sooooo ugly... it really needs to be painted, the yard needs help and it jsut needs a little curb appeal. landscaping isn't my or Rys specialty, but we'll learn as we go! the other day ry started taking off the horrible stucco that covers the foundation.. heres a before:


and the gloooorious 'after' makes me want to serenade rylan as he works. haha;) now, im LOVin the dark gray. but ry said its gonna dry to the color of concrete. which, im sure is still gonna be 4 billion times better, still.

Next is one day (soon im hopin') to paiinnt! (more serenading will happen when that happens too, im sure) we're thinkin a very light beige, trust me, ive seen an ugly bump house like ours painted in beige, and wow, hides the bumps a lot. im so excited. new roof, new fence! oh, the suspence! now we're just trying to think of what colors for sure, roof, door, paint trim. its gotta be perfect!

now, its not all the way dry cause today is kinda rainy- but i took a pic of the outside how it is right now. oh man i can't wait for the paint job. but ill take a glorious foundation-under-the-porch for now. :D
