Just before we took possession of our house I made Ryan take this photo. He wasn't very happy about it, but since we knew the house was empty, he reluctantly agreed...
When we bought our house it had two bedrooms and one bathroom. Our house now has three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, but I will do another post on that soon.

| Another view of our house when we bought it. |
This is a picture of our house now, or actually in the spring. Ryan dug up the monkey grass around the trees which we think gives it a nice clean look. There is also a new roof, a new driveway, new gutters and a new wood fence on the right hand side. You can also see the carport we added in the back. This must be an old picture because our gate had not been installed. I will try to get another picture with our gate because I love it!
We love the brick on our house! It is a dark brick with a good bit of variation and flush mortar joints. Unfortunately many of the houses we buy do not have such a good looking brick. We feel that you should always paint brick if it is a weird color and/or if it has a funny texture. You'll be amazed how it change the entire feel of a home.
Maybe someday we'll change our mind and paint the house, but until then I would just like to have our front porch repainted or stained. Can you tell how bad the paint is peeling?? The first time we looked at this house I pointed out how bad the porch needed to be painted. Ryan said and I quote, "That is such an easy fix."
Well here we are almost five years later and have done a ton of work to our house - except paint the front porch. I complain about it from time to time and beg Ryan to fix it. I even started to complain, saying you do all this work on other people's houses but you won't fix our front porch. So I was promised after he sold the first house he renovated that he would have the porch painted. Well.... I am still waiting.
