The house! It is painted!
The trim is a bit brighter than I thought it'd be, but it's been approved by the neighborhood association, which is the important thing. If anyone else complains, I can hold up my letter and say "TAKE IT UP WITH THEM."
(And then I might privately agree.)
Next on the block: windows. Everyone we mention this to has a sudden intake of breath through their teeth, which I do not take to be a good sign. Perhaps intelligent homeowners would have done the windows first. Well, I never said we were practiced at this. If the estimates are scary, we'll just wait a little while longer, that's all.
A friend lent me her NetFlix copy of Fever Pitch - the one with Colin Firth about football/soccer, not the one with Jimmy Fallon about the Boston Red Sox (although that one's number eleven in my queue at the moment). Not bad, kind of fun, and I've determined that I like Colin Firth much better when his hair is not all shaggy.
....
Huh, that was fast. One of the window places called me back already, and I've got an appointment for this afternoon for a free estimate. (Yay, free.) This'll be interesting.
