Landscaping and Paint

I've been working like a mad lady the last few days.  James believes I recently became addicted to Speed, but I haven't. 

I started our "landscaping".  The following picture shows 5 hours worth of work.  It's really hard to move grass.  But now, James just needs to level the ground and throw down a walkway.

I've also been painting stuff.  I have more painting to do and touch ups around the house.  But I got the bathroom mouldings painted, half of the door and the dining room done.

This is a bad picture - but the mouldings are done.  Now I can finally throw up a blind and a curtain.

The built-in area is done!  Now I just have to clean it and have James install the pulls.  I scored some on clearance a while back - they are just longing to be put to good use!

The Porch Is "Done"!

Our contractor guys came back today to put up the siding and demand their last payment.  They are officially done - but the work is just getting started for us.  We have to landscape the front yard and do some detail work (like put numbers and a new mailbox on our house - as well as painting the stairs)

Here's the result:

Looking at the final picture makes me realize just how much work we have to do.  I have no idea how we are going to do it - but I'm confident James will figure it out somehow or other.
