Earlier in the summer, we got the new roof. And for the past couple of weeks, we’ve had workers here giving the outside of the house a facelift. It’s finally done, just in time for winter, and I’m showing off her new look. Here are the before and after shots.
Here she is, her siding looking all unloved.
And here she is after her thorough pressure washing and new siding stain. Oh, and you call tell hubby and I trimmed those bushes in front of the left-hand set of windows. If you remember the shots from when the roof was put on, they were crazy out of control. And let me just say for the record…I hate that holly bush. The leaves are these horrid things that always stick me, and they hurt! Yes, I’m a wuss.
I should have taken a picture of the yard this morning. We had our first frost of the season last night. Brrrrr. You all know how much I enjoy cold weather — NOT!

Your house looks beautiful!!! Good job with the landscaping. I really like the contrast between the stone and the cedar. Very pretty.
Saw your dad the other day, sitting in your old blue car (Nova?) outside Pizza Hut. He looked content, sitting and smoking, as usual.

Looks really nice Trish! I hear you on the cold – wish it would stay away just a little bit longer.

It looks really good. I am sure you are glad you had it done. The weather really bums me out sometimes. Last week, it rained and drizzled most of the week, and it was so cold, it felt like it was just sucking the life out of me.

Hey, thanks for the comments. I’ve been AWOL from the blog because we’ve been on vacation, and where we were staying didn’t have Internet access. I’m getting ready to blog about the trip with photos. Teri, thanks for asking.
