Sgt. Slacker

Yup, that's right, I've been slacking on the blog. No shocker there I suppose. Between my job keeping me plenty busy the past couple weeks, and the sudden urge to take care of chores around the house (before winter sets in), I haven't really had much too much to write about, nor the time to do so.

One of the big chores I've finally gotten around to is painting the front picket fence. When K and I purchased the house a year ago June, the fence was a mess. The previous owner must have been going through some serious indecision about color. Originally it was white, but at the front it was painted (very poorly I might add) a dark green, and about mid-way down one side, there was a patch painted that same dark green, and then painted over in a more 'olive' green that matched the trim of the house. But only a five foot patch. It's been bugging K and I for a long time, but there have been so many other things to get done that I never got around to painting it.

Finally this past Saturday I picked up some paint (matching the trim) and began painting. This evening I was able to get the outside of the one side done. There's lots left to do (second coat, the inside, and then sand and paint the front) and then it'll be done. At least now, from the outside, it's only two colors and not three. I'll probably post a photo once I get it done, but for now you can go here to see what it looked like before we bought the house.
