More work on the homefront!

I thought we would be down for the count due to the rain this weekend, but luckily we ended up with a gorgeous day. Yesterday, thanks to the help of and Tasha we removed the shutters and got them cleaned. It appears that whoever had this house before either attempted to paint the siding around the shutters, or the area of siding underneath the shutters just accumulated very even amounts of grime. I will find out in around 20 minutes when I head outside to spray down the front of the house with this new spray-on siding cleaner.

My brother-in-law came over today to help us paint the shutters, which are now drying in the garage. He and Tasha are going to undertake the arduous task of re-hanging the shutters this week while I am gone, which will leave painting the deck and landscaping as the last few required things on the outdoor task list.

After I’m done with this blog post and the siding, I still have to clean the rabbit cages today but that should be the last thing on the task list for this weekend. I intend to have a nice relaxing dinner at my parents house tonight before I fly out to Denver early tomorrow morning!

At the request of , I will be posting some “after” shots of the house when I’m done with the outside tasks. That might be a few weeks down the road still, since we have to get the front yard landscaping ordered and installed prior to considering the front yard done.

More next week on this front!
