We still need to do a bit of touch up as the friggin blue painters tape look some of the stain off the door = / And we need to do the interior trim as well, but the outside looks good. We went w/ forest green because our new gutters are the same color. So now that means more trim painting for the windows and shutters once it stops raining.
Also today, the blower in our wood stove went out. We've been having trouble with it, but thought we had it resolved. But today when D went to check it out, we saw a big spark in the back and it won't turn on at all. Since the stove is so old, we're not sure we can just replace the motor/blower/electrical. Considering this is our main heat source, we HAVE to address this right away. Luckily this didn't occur during the record cold we had last week. It was dropping down into the 20's overnight, which I know isn't that cold for most places, but for here it's damn cold. We actually woke up last Tuesday to find our water pipes frozen!! Nothing burst, but it was pretty surprising to have that happen. My succulents took a beating from it as well. I can only hope they recover come spring.
The past several weeks have been ridiculously hectic, so we haven't had alot of time to put into house projects. That will change in the coming weeks though. Interior painting will be next on our agenda. D's parents are coming out for a few weeks over the holidays, so maybe we can put them to work like we did Nando & Jon when they visited!
