well I got bogged down on the shutters and window trims so I have decided to wait till house is done before deciding to have shuttersbut I actually like the simpleness of the house.so tonight I have all of my foundation trim painted and closet wall and door primed and painted. I also printed off stone wall printie and have mod-podged it to the foundation.you can find a photo in my webshots album...if it wont post on here. so tomorrow when I come back everything will be dry and ready for installation.punching sanding priming and painting is always tedious but oh how nice it looks. I did try to assemble the front porch but stopped and went back to the directions....dont want to skip ahead to far. past experiences tell me to try and go by the instructions. as much as I allow myself to. Im very bad about skipping ahead and mucking up only rip it off later.TTFN!nutti B)
