A Few Miner Adjustments

It Happened Suddenly

A Porch Remodel Started {Plus Some Dirt and Rocks}

When we had our Realtor come over to appraise our house last month she oohed and aahed over the kitchen tile. 

She told us the living room, albeit long and rectangular, was arranged perfectly. 

She loved the paint colors that we had chosen for the walls.

But she also said something that struck me to my core.

We would have to sell the house from the inside out.

Yikes...Where was that guy from Curb Appeal?

We had spent so much time working on the inside that the outside had suffered.

I knew that our front porch was bad.

I knew that our front steps were awful {even though last summer I hired some painters to try and fix it}.

I knew that our front walkway needed some help...

with it's uneven pavers...

and having to walk down from the driveway and then having to walk back up at the steps...

 and the solar lights that don't work.

Then there is the ugly lattice. I won't even go there.

We would have to sell the house from the inside out.

So the hubs and I started talking. 

TALKING. 

That's all.

Or so I thought.

Yesterday, while the boys and I were in the house quietly working on a different blog project something happened suddenly.

I went outside and...

...there were no more rotting steps to walk up.

...there were no more uneven pavers to trip on.

...there was no more ugly lattice to look at {well just a little still there}.

I was shocked. And then I cheered and shouted and started dreaming of the possibilities!

The hubs has quite a task ahead of him. A few MAJOR adjustments. 

I think that it is going to be fabulous! 

At least I hope our Realtor thinks so!

PS...
At this time we are not selling our house. 

At this time we are not remodeling the kitchen.  

At this time we are knee deep in rocks and dirt. 

PPS....This is what my front lawn currently looks like....shield your eyes! It ain't pretty.
