Front Porch Cleaning Befores and Afters

Here are the photos I promised from Kara who swept it all out - we were really starting to track in a lot of dirt so this will help so much with that.

Before:




After:



Looks great Kara!  Yesterday Kara and I sat down to watch the old movie,"Money Pit" on Netflix with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.  If you like really cheesy, dated and funny movies this is a good one. If you are restoring an old farmhouse and finding lots of surprises along the way, it's even funnier as long as you're looking at your project with a REALLY positive attitude.

I just re-read the above paragraph and to be clear, Tom Hanks and Shelley Long are IN the movie, we did not sit down with them to watch a movie but I can understand if that is what you thought, sorry to get everybody really excited. Wouldn't it be fun to watch a funny movie with Tom Hanks? He has the best laugh. Okay, going to work on some music!

  1. I missed the last 3 posts so just caught up - what great progress! The outside of the house looks amazing - and the inside has so much potential! Its going to be fantastic. You have cat smells - we had mouse nests and smells. Its all gross but will be over before you know it. Or maybe not....but eventually it'll be over.

  2. Haha, eventually...yeah Kara was saying, "just think when we are actually living here we'll remember how bad it was and all the hard work..." It really seems like a dream to actually live there, but once I get all four walls of the bedroom clean it will seem a little more real!
