a friend of mine, who was in the other half of my moms group, her husband is a general contractor. we got in touch with him to replace the posts on the front of our house. they have needed to be replaced since we moved into our house. they weren't attached to the concrete and you could move them. not very sturdy! i like that casey, the contractor, made the posts himself. he didn't get pre-made ones and just attach them. (if you are doing any work and would like his info... i will be happy to pass it along! he was great!) while the guys were painting the posts, we had them paint part of the trim as well. I also painted the door and shutters black (i never liked the blue!).
i am sure our neighbors think we are trying to sell our house... why else would we do all of this work? we would, in fact, like to sell our house. but that wont be for a few years. we have debt... so until we are out of debt we will be staying put. we just thought it would be a good idea to tackle a few projects in the next couple of years, so that we won't be so overwhelmed when it is time to sell. it is also, nice to be able to enjoy the improvements for the next couple of years!! there are still a few things we want to do to the outside, but this was the most major :)
