In between all of that I’ve been working on my house. And when I say work I mean physical labor. It think if you look back through the blog you may notice that I don’t mention labor that often, or working out either. Because I don’t really enjoy it and I don’t do it that often. Well I’m doing it now!


This cute and fun picture of Anna and her mom, Jolie doesn’t do a good job of showing how big this ten yard dumpster is, but I want you to know that I filled this thing up BY MY SELF. This is something I thought was beyond my physical limit. While I was doing that my mom painted:

So here’s a before refinishing shot. I would like to add that the trim and windows (which we have to idea how we are to paint) are going to be a nice picket fence white instead of the nasty cream you see here. So the colors will look better, have no fear. I took a shower when I got home at ten tonight and found so many scraps and bruises on me. Half I don’t even remember getting. Lots more work to do still, but the fun stuff is going to start soon – the stripping, oh ya.
