As I mentioned in a previous post way back in July, Nate and his dad built a shed for us. Nate had to do a lot of the finishing touches himself (shingle the roof and install the door and a vent), so it wasn't actually completely finished until a while later. But here's the finished product:
It's nothing fancy and only 6'x8', but it meets our needs. And now our garage doesn't feel so cramped. :)
Labor day weekend we decided it was finally time to stain our deck. I wish I had a good before picture, but let's just say that most of the previous stain had worn off and ugly, gray wood was what remained. This definitely turned out to be a huge project, and it's not something I ever want to do again. Now our deck doesn't look so ghetto. The only downside is that it's now even more evident how much we need to paint the exterior of our house. I don't even want to think about that project.Our final project was to have a new front door and sidelights installed. Our old sidelights were ugly yellow 1970s stained glass and the last bit of the 70s that remained in our house. I also HATED the front door.
And here's the new one:
BEAUTIFUL!! We love it!
