Painting!

Last weekend Josh & I worked hard on the house!! We have decided to paint ourselves so we had to "prime" the house first. Meaning we had to put this type of paint called primer on the walls first so that when we put our paint on the walls it is even. It took almost all day sunday to do it but we got it done!! So here are the pictures of our get-up! ( I would have posted these pictures last week but we were busy/exhausted all week last week!)

Garage DoOrs & StucCo!

The stucco in the back of the house is done!! :) Up close stucco!!
