new house part II

The outside of the house, in the dark with Dad out front.
Had to have a little fun with the primer before covering the GREEN! (love you too babe!)

Dave and Hailey painting the purple room.

Preston was so proud of himself for climbing up the ladder to get on the roof all by himself while my back was turned! He loves to be with and help Papa.

The practice climb. Shingles are missing and bare roof is exposed, another to-do list item.

Here are some pics of the house. We really should have taken pics before and not just during the process. My "fave" fix-ups would have to be the fist hole in the wall, the master bedroom doors kicked in from the outside, the water softener precariously balanced on a board and tied to the gas line with a phone cord....still working on getting the house all fixed, but since we are moving in tomorrow, it is at least ready to have our stuff there. I have to give props to my carpet cleaner, he is a miracle worker! I can now move in and only have my germs and dirt there! Here's hoping we don't find anything else major that needs to be repaired! We turned on the faucet outside the house, only to have Dave come running out yelling; "Turn it off! It's flooding the living room!" Turns out it wasn't only the living room, but also the storage room downstairs! Ah, the joys of home ownership, it is now my problem!
