Old girl needs a facelift

We have been in our home for 10 years now, and she is due for a facelift.  Phase 1 is painting the exterior.  Before we can start on that there are a few items that need some work.  Craig already busted his butt trimming all the bushes surrounding the house so we can actually access the side of it now.  The porch railing is rotted so we made a good start replacing that today before it hit 100F!

Of course, it was much harder to actually do than how I imagined it my head, LOL!  Craig was a good sport and tolerated my need to measure and measure and measure again before, during and after each post was put in.  I think the end result (first of 3 railings) looks pretty good. 

Aidan even helped by using his little remote control dump truck to deliver nails as we needed them. Go Team Dauch! 

Keeping our fingers crossed we can keep the momentum going, I have a rather long "honey do" list for Craig this summer.
