Siding Painted...Woohoo!

Well I was able to get the siding painted today, so I'm making progress.  I just have a few areas to touch up and then I'm on to painting the eve and putting up trim around the door and corners of the house.  I'm pleased with how it's looking so far.  I can live with this for a few years until we remodel the back.  It was nice and cool today and made painting pleasant and the girls had fun running around and swinging while I worked.  Mal painted some as you can see below and Stella our cat came around to see what was going on.

Mal loves to help me at whatever I'm doing.  Stella on the other hand just likes to watch.

Preping the siding for paint

Our latest project is making the back of the house look halfway decent since we tore off the back room that was in disrepair.  We are doing a temporary fix to the siding and trim, and plan on building some steps off the back door, nothing special just something to make do until we remodel the back of the house.  We will add in some landscaping along the back of the house to help with the rain runoff from the house...no gutters.  Hopefully that will help keep out dirt & mud that would be tracked into the house.  I hope to have this completed by Thanksgiving, we'll see...hunting season opens up this weekend and I plan on being down at the farm for a couple of weekends between now and then.  I might have to miss some football to accomplish this, but I can do it.  Plus I have my beautiful wife here to help me.
