The past 2 days at The 24 Day Challenge I have been painting...painting...and painting some more. Yesterday, we picked up more siding to finish the chimney and Dave knocked it out that afternoon. Then, he grabbed a brush and painted along with me! Today we were able to finish painting the entire back of the house and prime the front. I love our new color! We usually do a beige on the exterior but the neighborhood is full of unique colors so I knew we would be fine changing our color scheme up a bit...will post pics tomorrow! Our goal is to finish painting the front of the house tomorrow, which is the only side left to do...yippee! I was back on a 10 foot ladder today and hated every minute of it! Will be so happy when it ends!
This morning we went to Lowes and Home Depot to get quotes on the windows we have to replace, which come find out is ALL of them. Gonna have to figure out a way to squeeze it into the budget. Both manufacturers guarantee to beat each other's prices. Home Depots bid came in at $300 less than Lowes...going back to Lowes in the a.m. to see if they'll beat it ;) Love playing them against each other! When you're having to replace 9 windows, every penny saved is very much appreciated!
Today was an outstanding day! Got a lot accomplished at our Challenge and even got a few direct mailers from real estate agents about The Beauty. We emailed those ladies as well as had a call from an agent who is going to show it on Thursday. We are up to 6 showings in 3 weeks so far...
Sorry for no pics! Will post tomorrow...for now, "Seacrest out!" ...and into bed :)
...13 days and counting...
