Driveway Sealed October 2012

Before - Some Major Cracks and perhaps never sealed driveway

After with sealed driveway to prevent future cracking...

Backyard Fence

Holy Moly. 
Wanted to stain the new cedar fence in backyard before it started to grey.
Same stain color as lattice in front of house.

It's a two sided fence.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but it took me 4 hours or more, to stain only one side of only an 8ft section!!!!!!!  There is WAY more to go and my arm will surely be sore tomorrow!

I need a crew to help or this job is never getting done.

The wood looks more finished though. 

 
....Weeks later an UPDATE.......

I was able to finish OUR side only.  Still need to stain the NEIGHBORs side....But now the weather is cold and rainy.  Hopefully, we will get a good few more days of weather and I can finish this project for good!!  Maybe before the 2012 year is out....

I am very happy with the way our side turned out.  The lattice in the front of the house now matches this cedar fence color and the slight red in the stain kind of picks up the red brick from the new patio and looks pretty great together.  :)

Finally Picked a Downstairs Bathroom Color

Finally picked a downstairs bathroom wall color.
Dutch Tile Blue.
First room inside the house, I painted myself. 
Still need to fix some problem areas along the ceiling, but looks pretty good.
