We've done yard work and leaf bagging, and started a wee little Spite Garden. More on that later.
Brett finished the dining room shelves and then promptly ruined my professional styling by jamming a bunch of crap into that corner so he could work from home.
He has since moved his operation into the sunny room with me (both for sunlight and company) where I have painted the ceiling blue. I'm still working on that middle swatch. Needed some sanding.
Dad and Brett spent a day removing our "in-the-way" back deck columns and creating this nautical support system so that you can come out of the house and make a hard right without stubbing your toes. We're very close to painting this deck. I can feel it bubbling.
Many have asked but no, my costume antics ended after that first week of fun. One should stop while they're ahead. Things would have surely gotten too hokey.
Also, week 2 of quarantine was our bickery week so I wasn't feeling like much fun. But boy oh boy have we accepted things since then. We love the endless amount of entertainment we provide each other and we don't want Brett to ever have to go back to work. We've gotten spoiled by the fun of it all.
Our biggest and most exciting project is our front porch. We're still working on it but we're getting close. We've got a new deck, took off the railings to open things up, and Brett is finishing building our three-sided stairs at a glacial but structurally-sound pace. He only has a little bit of time to work on these each day and all the walkers and joggers that shout to us about our cute house every time they go by have now begun to comment on the status of our project.
Only recently have we become a little embarrassed by how long it's taking, but the consensus is that the general public really likes the new look. I can't wait to paint it and fill it with plants.
