We finally decided to get rid of the funky green on the front of our house.  Here’s a before picture from 2005:

Mmmm green!  Here’s another picture that shows the red front door and the green door that goes into the garage.

We had to a lot of work on the outside of our home.

• Removed leaves from gutters (around entire house)
• Power washed the gutters (inside and out)
• Spray painted gutters with a gloss enamel
• Removed moss from roof – what a freaking pain in the butt!
• Power washed driveway – 2 inch strips at a time!
• Painted garage door and house trim ultra pure white
• Filled in all cracks in cedar siding with wood putty and sanded it
• Painted house a light sand color that matches the sand colored stones
• Painted door terracotta to match bricks
• Replaced globe porch light with new, more attractive one
• Cleaned and painted the wrought iron railing
• Removed, cleaned, and painted gutter drain spout with white gloss enamel

Luckily Megan and Kelly volunteered to help out on Saturday.  We put in about 7 hours of work on Saturday and Beck and I put in another 8 hours on Sunday finishing up.

Notice that both doors are the same color now!   The new colors are much brighter and make the house less gloomy.  Two neighbors and have stopped by to say how much they really like it!
