Porch repair started!

The mason company started working on my porch today!
 




 
I came home from work so I could help with some of the scraping of plaster and mortar...
I scraped for 4 hours so I could save a little money.

what $320.00 worth of paint and primer looks like? Here ya go... This is: 5 gallons of Valspar La Fonda Deep Clay Red for the dining room walls. 5 gallons of Valspar Caraway Shield for the living room walls. 2 gallons of Valspar Homestead Resort Pumpkin for the ceilings. (I think I underestimated now that I look at the photos of the house) 2 gallons of Valspar Primer I also bought 2 cans of OOPS paint for $3.00 each. Both of them are in a browns. The La Fonda Deep Clay Red, Caraway Shield & Homestead Resort Pumpkin colors are shown below. I decided to get a little brave with the reddish color...

(Gas, not electric ~ Sunday delivery, not Monday, etc.) The stove is in black and White and a Frigidaire. The refrigerator is black Kenmore. I would have preferred both items to be Frigidaire, but no such luck. They both came as requested! I love them! Jewell approves too!

So much progress...

I actually worked on my new lawn for 3 1/2 hours! I raked enough sticks to fill 1 whole recycle barrel and 2 whole trash barrels. Mowed, trimmed & pulled up dead bushes. It actually looks quite decent! Time to do some laundry, try to organize my room & eat before I pass out. It's been very busy today, but I'm happy I'm making progress. News! I came back from the other house around 3:00 pm and the realtor code box & the For Sale sign were actually gone from my new house! About darn time... it's been 18 days!
