Decking coming off....

Friday the decking started coming off.
The under framing was all wrong....so the contractor pulled off the top part and
and is making it right. I know that Im not using the right contractor terms or word that
they call this but......so whats new.
I have trimmed all the off white (windows, and doors...ect)
Started on the green what is one of the colors .
I was cutting in the last part of the green so i can start painting with a rolled.It will go so much faster.
Up about 10 feet off the ground on a ladder....... I looked down and there was a two foot long
snake at the bottom of the ladder.......HOLY CRAP!!!!!!

That black and yellow snake is now sporting the prettiest green blobs of paint.
I had nothing else to make him move on, and find somewhere else to be.....
.I waited for 30 minutes and down the ladder I came.
Had a great day working inside today......   wink wink!!

You never know what the day will bring.....

Ok so I need to clear up a few things. My last blog was titled Reno day....I think this must be something that only I understand. Reno is short for renovation. I know I got more than one comment about have I moved to Reno.....Ok so moving on to todays work.

Mid morning yesterday my contractor got a piece of wood shaving in his eye. He went to the eye doc and needed some rest. So I thought today would be a quiet day.House needed to be washed before starting to paint.Just as we started that task(homeowner was here for the day to help).
Up the drive way came a truck. (Now keep in mind no one just comes up the driveway.....It may be due to all the " NO TRESPASSING" sings every where. And the large lock on the gate) Anyway, here they come.
It wasn't The Mormons.
No ties.
And they were driving a truck.
It was guys that had more than 3/4 truck of driveway material. Gave a great price.(however I talked them down a little more) And you can see for yourself what is new on the home front today.

So everyday you have to just think maybe that is the way it was meant to be......
I have always said " if you want to make God belly laugh ,tell him you have a plan."

Reno Day One

I have been asked to give the old farm house a face lift....
As many of you know I have been house-sitting for a friend of mine in Prineville,Oregon
He bought the house a year ago and asked if I would help with the design and
over see the makeover. My passion is a makeover.

So here is day one. This is the NW side of the house and the front of the house.

Here is day two....

 Start painting tomorrow. So drop by tomorrow and see whats new.....
