Home improvement takes up the majority of our free time. By our free time, I mean Clint's.

Here is the house originally. The picture quality is TERRIBLE.  I'd like to point out the pink fascia, purple and pink shutters, paper curtains, aluminum windows, and the mud pie front yard. We lived in this fantastic looking house for 6 plus years without making any major improvements to the outside. I wanted to focus all our time and attention inside.

This shot was taken after a new roof, fascia, windows, door, and railing were installed. I'll need to give props to Clint as we go along. My roofing grandfather did our roof and fascia, but Clint installed the windows, front door, and the railing/fence.

Clint added the accent trim.

Clint built the shutters, and the house was professionally painted. That's Richard our painter in the reflection of the door. He wore a white sweatshirt and white pants everyday. Why do painters where white?

Next up is the big pile of dirt and rocks that were dumped into our yard. The rocks are just dumped off the back of a truck and you're supposed to figure out how to move them yourself. They average 500lbs each.

This picture is after the curbing, the precise placement of each individual boulder, and many, hundreds, thousands of hours grading the dirt into perfect contours, done by Clint. He's a bit of a perfectionist (by bit, I mean huge).

And finally, TA DA! Landscaping! Do you realize how many comments we've received in the last 7 years about the fact that we had no landscaping? "But isn't Clint a landscaper?" Yes, but I was also a party planner at work and there weren't many parties happening at the Draney abode. I love how green it is. The Sierra Club hates us.
