Our house got a significant upgrade today! Over the past few months we have been working on some projects in preparation for this day (I say we, but really it was all Mike!) He replaced 12 windows, a back door, and had our large picture window replaced. Today we got it all restuccoed! It needed it SO badly. The stucco was literally falling off in large chunks in some areas and it had some 'ugly' areas where previous owners had attempted to patch it on their own. Mike had wanted to attempt to restucco it himself, but a very wise woman convinced him not too! :) He did remark today while watching the men work that it was a very good thing he didn't try to do it himself. He said, "It would have taken me FOREVER and I would have made a horrible mess of it." Wise man. He also commented on how nice a job professionals do....I agreed! :) We had quite the fiasco with installing the back door yesterday, but that is another story for another time! Mike doesn't find it funny yet at all...
Now our home is beautiful and no longer tan! No offense if tan is your house color of choice but it seems like every house in Bakersfield is tan....and it is not for us! It is now a beautiful gray! I am one happy home owner! Mike is too I guess! :) Can't wait until we get the trim and shutters painted...once again I say 'we' but I mean Mike-he truly is a keeper!
