Before and After

July 9th, 2008

My goodness, I can hardly believe it has been two months since I last updated. We’ve done quite a bit around the yard, but it has definitely been winding down. Lots of smaller jobs here and there. We finished painting the front stairs, and it’s amazing at how much it tied the whole house together. It really made a big impact. As well, our tenant Rick built and painted a pergola outside the suite entrance. I knew it would be awesome, but I had no idea how much it would help straighten out the house. As you’ll see in the following photos, before the house looked crooked (it’s not just the wide angle). Something was just a little bit off. The pergola grounded and balanced the house.

I keep looking at the first set of before and after photos and I smile every time. The house looks amazing now! I know the difference between winter and summer makes everything look better, but still there is a lot of change to the house and the yard. We’re quite pleased, to say the least.

Below you’ll find a series of “before and after” photos. Enjoy!
