Paint Paint and more Paint

 Happy Friday!  Mom and I painted the cement part of the house... and you can see how much better it looks!  A million times better!  We are thinking about giving it a second coat on Sunday because it has been so long since it has been done.  The paint was mixed to exactly match the siding, which is really awesome - so if I see a flaw in the siding, I can use the paint brush to cover it.  Loren and his crew only were here for 1/2 day, so they did not make much progress.  They built the porch soffit and secured the railings.  Tony and Steve from River Creek came to lift out the concrete by the shed - what a huge hole!  But their little skid loader just lifted it right out!  It was amazing to watch.   Those guys are amazing - Mom and I really enjoy seeing them.   But, two casualties, the bush by the shed door went with the slab of concrete, and look at our lawn!  Oh my... but I talked to Tony about building a ramp up to the shed door, like the side of the house by our obnoxious neighbor.  He said he would help fix the grass then, whenever that will be.  I will need to brainstorm a temporary ramp to get the lawnmower out of the shed... our grass in places does need cutting this weekend.  So, now it is a waiting game until next week.  I am thinking by the end of next week it will be pretty much done.  Oh - and by the way, the garage is still standing - but just to be sure, my car is on the street for at least one more night.  Have a great labor day weekend!
