Stucco??

Okay. This is where we stand. We had stucco put on the two dormers on the front of the house and and the small cover above the side door. The first attempt did not turn out great. Unfortunately, I picked the color with a friend and the stucco guy. It looked horrible. It started out pink. Yep, pink. Then, dried a little better. Still not great, but better. So, we tried again. This time both Tide Guy and I picked the color. The second attempt was better and more brown. We debated the color for hours and even called another friend to give an opinion. The stucco was done on Tuesday and we decided today (Sunday) that it will work. I really think it will be okay once the rest of the black shingles are on top of the porch and the white vinyl is up as the trim. Hopefully, it won' t look yellow or be too light.

The masons finished their work yesterday. They were able to get the steps completed in the garage and on the side door. When we are ready, they will return to do the front steps and build the wall to disguise the air conditioning unit.

We had great weather this weekend and took three loads on the trailer to my friends to dispose. The place looks better with all the paper, plastic, sticks, boxes, etc. gone. Plus, we've been able to pick up most of the brick pieces in the yard. We still have lots of work to do, but I know it is all going to be worth it.

The concrete guys poured the concrete Thursday and it looks great! Moving on!

Ready for spring!
