I know our loyal readers are eagerly awaiting our next post, so I wanted to share a few projects that we have going on.
First up is the veggie garden. It has grown quite a lot with all of the rain. (Scroll down the page to see the photo when we planted the veggies.) I am loving the raised bed because it hasn’t really had any weeds and we were able to give the plants some great soil to grow in. I also think it looks pretty cool. The tomato plants are huge, and the green peppers are already full of peppers.

The next project is *drum roll please* – PAINTING THE HOUSE! We have wanted to paint the exterior for quite a while, but it is a huge task. The house hasn’t been properly painted in years, so there is a ton of prep work involved. We did hire professionals for this project, so it should get done fairly quickly. The first step was to pressure wash the exterior, which they did on Friday. You should have seen the dirt pouring off the house.
This is what it looks like after the pressure washing. Next up is scraping and sanding.

Picking a color has been a big challenge. I won’t tell you what we decided on quite yet.
Steffi can’t decide…
The last project (but definitely not the least) is stripping our new front door. Our friends Josh and Carl over in Howell Station were kind enough to give me their old front door for my birthday!!! Huge thanks to the both of them! The door is going to look great with the newly painted house.

We’ll post more about each of the projects as they progress, but there should be some big changes soon.
