House project for labor day weekend UPDATE PORCH PICS

Well the front of our house needed some cleaning!

We ripped out the hedges and trees. They were infested with bugs....gross....

you know it is bad when a bushe is growing into the mailbox

the previous owner had the bushes soooooo overgrown that it discolored the siding with Disgusting dirty mold.

here are some pics
tomorrow we are going to sand down the porch and stain it Chat Icon

Re: House project for labor day weekend (pics)

Thanks everyone!

we are so excited about how different and clean the house looks!!!

Each neighbor keeps coming over and saying they cannot believe it is the same house. Feels good when others notice and go out of their way to come over and tell u!

We are sanding and staining the deck now...i just came in for a water break!Chat Icon

I will post pics later on how it turned out

Great job! I couldn't even tell that the porch was wood before you sanded it.
