Compost spread, grass seed thrown and fertilizer put down. Let's grow some grass!!

Some new shingles on the back of the house. We believe we have the original shingles from 1922, when you go to touch them, they fall right off. Eventually the entire house will have to be re-shingled. We have a goal of one side a year!

This space used to be a solid wall, now we have a patio door (patio coming soon). It adds so much natural light to the kitchen.

Where there once was a screened in porch, there is now the beginnings of a master bathroom. This side of the house was closed in and shingled, complete with new crank window. While the screen porch would have been awesome, we would want to use it to entertain and wouldn't want people to have to walk through our bedroom to get there. PLUS don't forget-we already have a porch on the first floor with a great breeze!

Trim on the porch is primed and ready for bright red paint!

New 76!

Where there used to be a hollowed out apple tree, now stands our new/old light post. Mark rescued this from craigslist and we sanded it down and painted it. It awaits our new onion lamp, it's on the way!

These metal lawn chairs were found for free. I sanded and repainted them, they look like new! We bought cushions on sale at Home Depot to make them extra comfy!
