"But..." you may ask

"what did you do while Chels and N8 were at EFY?????

This blog comes with a warning label:

The following post may cause drowsiness and sleep.

(But we have this weird thing of liking to take before and after shots,

so sit up, stretch, and try to stay with me for a minute.)

Here is a picture of the fix-it-up chappie (right)

and

his very favorite faithful cohort (left). 



A weathered deck here



A new-improved stained deck



here!
(This home also now houses my family room couch.  'Thought we just might possibly take better care of a brand, new one than your average BYU student.  Of course, that just means, our family room's pretty empty right now.  If you come by, there's room for doing cartwheels or hula-hooping at present.)



Okay, who ran into the fence???

Poof! Fixed and wonderful!

An unsightly shed

and wahlah!
(You could rent it as a spare room to your noisy teenager!)

Eaves needing painting

Eaves no longer needing painting

Old bathtub in backyard
It now lives in Fallon.
('Not certain if it's going on craigslist or
perhaps will don a room in our home someday when we remodel a bath.)

Time for a trim here

and here.

Tight and tidy!

So where's the gate?

Back in place, reinforced, and restained

Ooooh, renter trampled couches

replaced by

 

craigslist couches



Tsk, tsk, look at the fascia!
(But first, maybe you had better tell me how to spell "fascia--facia--???")

Ah, now that looks nice!

Unsightly mailboxes

Hmm, I'm beginning to feel like Martha Stewart.
('Haven't done any prison time, however.)

Worn deck

New, improved

deck

Okay, so this is what happens
when you let your sprinklers
constantly hit your outside wall.
('Forgot to take an after pick,
but the fix-it-up chappie is amazing, isn't he?
And he's all mine!)
