Garage painted

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Over the weekend I finally painted the front of my garage. It’s still a piece of junk, but at least it matches the house (from the street).

That’s another finished item off the home improvement list, another dozen or so to go.

Ever since I bought my house two years ago, the exterior has needed painting. That finally happened today. The ugly, worn-off, beige color is gone. Yay!

brush pile in front of house

One of the things I was a little concerned about when I bought my house last March, was the fact that I’d have to do yard work.

Since I moved away from my parent’s house many years ago, I’ve been living in apartments and condominiums where all that was done for me. But the idea of sharing walls with other people (especially bad neighbors) was something I was growing pretty tired of. That was actually one of the major reasons I moved last spring.
