Painting the House - FINALLY!!!

If you read Gabe's blog then you know that we started this process of repairing the exterior in early summer. The cost of the new siding completely blew our budget to pieces, so we had to wait through the summer to save and find a way to paint the exterior ourselves. Our house has gone through one of the wettest summers with only primer on the new and very expensive siding. YIKES!! Well, no longer because TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

A college friend of Gabe's had a friend that owns a paint sprayer. So through a friend of a friend we are saving tons of money. Jake (friend from college) also offered to help paint. What a blessing!

Once this is completed we will only need to do a few more "fix ups" and then the house will officially go on the market! YIPPEE!! Then the house hunting begins!!

IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING

Ok all of the above was the original post. YIPPEE just turned into "Oh NO!!" It is now raining. How many weekends in the past month or so has it been dry as a bone?! The one weekend we can actually set aside time to do this massive painting project - IT RAINS! Argh!It didn't rain for long, but now we have to let everything dry out and start again tomorrow - hopefully. Please pray that it will dry out so we can finish this project and also pray that what has already been painted won't be ruined.
