BEFORE

front steps, we ripped up the carpet. We are going to try and sand off all the leftover glue. Thinking of leaving it bare cement or possible using some concrete paint in a chocolate brown. Also what do you think of a chocolate brown where that mustardy yellow trim is? and maybe a deep barn red front door....

Just wait until you see the after. No we do not live in the garage, there is a house hiding behind the giant tree....

That my friends is a rose bush that is out of control and has grown as tall as our roof and is about as wide as half the house! And guess what thanks to my dad, Brandon and our friend Ryan, its all chopped down and waiting to be taken off to the dump.

And this is our deck that is in need of a good sanding, staining, and new railing. I have about 1/6 of it done.... yeah its hot out there give me a break!
