Our Big Project

As can happen in an election year - we no longer live in the "white house."


BEFOREAFTER

This "after" actually implies...after a lot of work...after a lot of mess...after a lot of money!




Mike has wanted to paint the house a different color for a long time. I was dragging my feet (for 2 years) making a decision about the color. We are pleased with the way it turned out. Hopefully it will last. It was a BIG project. Mike did the prep work and we hired Charlie Hartshorn to do the painting. He is excellent if you are looking for some construction work.




I learned a funny thing about myself. It's a short drive to crazy for me if you cover all my windows in plastic. I open the windows every morning - I have to have the light. And we went 3-4 days with plastic on them. That's torture!

So...Charlie Hartshorn is great for construction, eh? Is this a PC way of saying he stinks at painting? Ha-ha, just kidding. The house looks terrific.
Love, Linda

No way, this guy is the best. He can do it all and does it right. He reminds me of David in his looks. It was fun to work with him! What does PC mean? And why are you still at work at 1 am? You work too hard!

Still love white, but this isn't too bad. I do love the new shutters and door color. It looks like a brand new house!
