The Summer of Home Improvement

Aunt Jean in the Pool

Summer flew bye. We did loads of Home improvement tasks. Even as I list them here... I am unsure how we mananged to get them all done. It all started with the pool-or as Tim calls it the money sucking hole in the ground. We drained and repainted the entire pool. There are not words to describe what a horrible chore it was. Just draining the deep end with bucket-only to have it rain and get filled up again. I now understand  why they wanted 5,000 dollars to paint it. By doing it ourselves we only spent 600 dollar in paint. Along the way Tim also fell and got a huge egg on his forhead, the acid bath cracked the heals on my feet, and burned them. But hey we were 4,000 dollars ahead of the game. And check out the pictures- doesn't it look good!

Next came rebuilding and staining the deck. That lead to powerwashing and bleaching the entire house. After powerwashing  we had to  paint. Yeppers-the entire back of the house both garage doors, and trim. The final job was  plastering an area on the 2nd story. Somehow going back to work will be restful.
