Another Update...

Okay, hopefully photos coming soon... The front porch is coming along. I need to find a little round wrought iron table for between the rocking chairs. Something that will hold drinks. I also want to find a porch swing that we can refinish. That would be awesome, and I can move the bench out under a shady tree.

We are getting our new roof in about 3 weeks, and after that we will be sanding and painting the entire front porch. That should finish our mini-curb appeal project. I have lots of photos to take of the plants etc. It really is looking nice and the roof will make all the difference!

We are also in the process of re-doing our entire swingset. Dh disassembled it, moved it over about 5 feet, and we'll be adding on. It's gonna be awesome when we are finished. Seems a project like this is a magnet for all the neighborhood kids. We have several of the boy's friends helping us to sand the old pieces we are salvaging. I'm sure they will want to stain it as well. :-)

I'm so excited for the additional space, plus making our swingset sturdy. It was quite dangerous before up on cinderblocks and swaying horribly when anyone would venture to actually swing on it! Yikes! This one will have five options for swings... two kids, two toddler swings and one two seater. Plus it will have the current big slide, and a rock wall with a rope to climb. The fort part will have a telescope and steering wheel for lots of imiganiation play. Yay! It will probably be done just in time for the heat of summer.... lol!

Picture posts will follow shortly....
