Home Improvements ~ and Hammy's!
We did some little home improvements this past weekend. It's amazing at how much of a difference just some little things can make! Bobby power washed the siding, while I painted the shutters and mailbox. I like the color of the shutters SO much better! It makes it more cheery! We also added some decorative white rock in some of the front lanscaping, which make a BIG difference! Bobby cut the bushes on the right several weeks ago because they were out of control, taller than the windows! They are starting to rebud now, so they should be nice and full again next year. There are a lot of home improvements we've been wanting to get done, but the $$ just is never there. So, we decided to at least get some of the small things done here and there. Next project within the next few weeks will be painting and decorating the living room. Next spring we will be able to finish the basement (been trying to for 4 years!), and we will be adding another bedroom down there to make it a four bedroom house. After that will be the kitchen, adding an old fashioned front porch, new roof, and a garage. We decided that we will be rolling my new bonuses over to home improvements. Bonuses come around every spring, so hopefully within 5 years our home will be completely remodeled! Whooohoo! Two years ago we remodeled the bathroom and laundry room, and we had so much fun doing it together! I'm SO excited! Speaking of, I am SO SORE from painting the shutters! I had them laying on the driveway while I was painting them, and I was in several different positions so I wouldn't get too stiff. I kept most of the weight on my legs to alleviate the pressure on my back. Well...it sure did a number on my hammy's! I'm so much more sore than any lower body workout has ever achieved on me! lol. That's a good thing...so now I know what I need to do to really get to my hamstrings! I had a pretty good UBWO tonight, my arms are still shaking, the toll of not doing any weight lifting in three weeks. Man it feels good!
