front porch rails

Our porch rails were looking very sad, so I started chipping the paint off and primed and painted it. 

Before:

 (the rails were cream and blue)



 Now I need flowers but its just too hot to plant anything that will survive this extreme heat. So I'm just going to get some wood chips to put in there for now. 

Mailbox

We got a new mailbox this past week and my husband installed for us. I got some brown spray paint and painted it. He painted the post, and I got some numbers from Walmart and painted them blue to match our home.  Here's a before and after shot of the mailbox.

We loved how it turned out! Have a great weekend!



New Roof

We got back home yesterday and had a good time at the waterpark with the kids.  We got burnt though OUCH!!!  Not to bad. 

Our roofers came out today to put on our new roof. Bright in early to get started ripping our two layered roof off.  It turned out great we are very much pleased with the results, it does look much better in person than is this picture. 

Before: (it was a grayish blue color)

After:





Here's the roof all cleared off:



Roof Before: (our shed last year)

Our New Roof After:

They still like putting our new gutter on, not sure when that will be cause of the other roofs being replaced around this side of town. But hopefully it will be here soon. Well at least we have time to paint the trim before they come put the gutter on.

I will be posting our new mailbox tommorrow. Also, our siding for the front will be delievered out tommorrow morning so it has been pretty busy this week getting things back to normal.  Thank you Lord!!!!!
