Day 6

Today we had to swing in to the power company first thing because there was an issue with our request for power at Sugar Pine. Come to find out the previous owner had an outstanding balance due and we needed to provide our deed to process the request. Got that handled and drove on to our 24 Day Challenge... 

The house and fence were covered in mildew, bugs' nests, and moss. We needed to remove all of this before starting paint so I tackled pressure washing while Dave took down the busted garage door and cleaned out the shed. He also was able to tackle removing the rest of the formica counters along with taping up the door knobs, taking down all the kitchen/bathroom cabinet doors and hardware, removing the shutters and other odds and ends. He's very anxious to get the power on...it's hard for him to do his job when there's no outlets to plug all of his tools into!

Luckily I had enough daylight to finish pressure washing everything but the shed today and it all looks awesome! The bricks are a different color than we realized...just were covered in so much "uck" you couldn't tell! And the fence looks new again :) Love easy projects such as this...instant gratification!

Everything was still pretty wet when we left so I'll add pics of it all tomorrow!

Now heading off to bed early - I'm beat.
