By the end of today, I was so excited – I’ve been impatient to make enough headway on the outside of the house to be able to post some photos, and today I can! After working half a day on a french drain and grading issues, I spent the rest of the afternoon putting up the rest of the exterior mouldings. I’m so excited, in fact, that I’m going to ramp up the dramatic effect using some “before” pictures.
This is how the house looked in July 2006, when I first bought it.

And this is the house in March 2007, after I (in desperation for some improvement) put up a salvaged storm door and new porch lights.

And… drumroll please…
This is the house, as it looks this evening, almost two years after that first photo was taken. It’s barely recognizable to ME, and I live here!
