The Last of the Real Men!

Well, thanks to Daron and Thys, the outside of our house is painted with a bold new coat! The trim isn't finished yet, but it is looking great. So far I have noticed that the younger generation of neighbors is liking it, but the seasoned isn't quite sure why I wanted to move away from the 80's look we had going.

One of our seasoned neighbors was riding his bike by and said that Daron was one of the last real men out there (since he was painting his own house and didn't hire out). To Daron, that was the ultimate compliment! Lucky for me, I have got myself a real man- the last, no less!!

We decided to do a little of "you scratch my back, and I will scratch yours" with our friends, so I believe Daron will be painting again soon at Thys's in case he needs to exercise his manliness again soon!

My vote: I like it. That means I'm one of the hip younger generation, right! :)

As a complete HGTV addict, I really would appreciate a before and after picture posted with a wider view of the finished product. Thanks.

Joyfully,
Becca

Ahhhh.....well, one would have to have a finished product to show a before and after. ;) I will definitely show you one when we get it finished. The trim still needs to be done, but after that, you will see an amazing before and and after that HGTV will want to buy the rights out from under us for!
