wolffe: (house)
We got our house painted! And aside from the joy that comes from having nice colors, I know it won't fall apart or (continue to) rot! Yay! They had to do a LOT of woodwork, but I can no longer see daylight through the wall next to the front door.

Here's the before:



And here's during. I decided very quickly that I hated the red. I shut them down, called the owner of the painting company and told him I didn't want to be the house where the zombies live. He helped me choose a lovely replacement color.



And here's the after! I wasn't sure about the green at first, but I'm starting to really love it.



The front door looks amazing.



While I was opening windows for them to paint, I came across a gorgeous, LARGE black widow in our basement. If you know me, you'll know that I have a no kill policy for critters I find in the house. (My husband doesn't have this policy.) I try to relocate. In this case, I can't safely relocate her. Even though our backyard is perfect with its thick pine woods, leaf mountains and fallen trees, I can't be sure a neighborhood kid won't stumble on her back there. I've contacted the extension service to see if they can use her for a display. Otherwise it's curtains. :/

Of course I took pictures. DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE ARACHNAPHOBIC )
