houseaspurchased

This is a shot of the house from November 1997, when I was considering purchasing it. I moved into the house in late February 1998.

housefrontafter

This is a shot of the front of the house from November 1999. A bit of work has gone into the landscaping. Notice the tiny little oak tree that I've planted in the front yard. That tree literally grew like a weed!

househurricane

This is a shot of the front of the house during Hurricane Season 1999. This was right before we left town for one of the hurricanes. 1999 was an pretty bad hurricane season.

Here's what the house usually looks like at Christmas time.

HouseBeforePaint2005

In February of 2005, we decided it was way past time to give the old house a new paint job. This is the BEFORE photo. Notice how tall the little oak tree in front of the house has grown! We actually sit under it for shade now! :-)

PrettyGoodPainting

We hired the guys from "Pretty Good Painting" and they did a wonderful job. They did it quickly and used excellent quality paints and their prices were very reasonable!

01-BadColor

Be careful picking your paint color! We wanted blue, but we didn't want a dark or grey shade of blue, so this was the color that we chose. Oops! It almost glowed in the dark! We had it repainted a more grey shade of blue the next day. :-)

02-GoodColor

Here's the AFTER photo. A much more appealing shade of blue. :-)
