Learning As we Go


August was the month when we could say that we were mostly done.
That being said, there are still two more shelves inside that need putting up, some wood varnish needs applying and the double doors to the side need a weather strip. Not to mention about gutters.



The concrete step was a learning curve.


It all worked out in the end.


We copied the brick and concrete for the ramp as well.

These were weekend jobs. 
They took longer than you would think.


The siding was something new to us.
We knew logically how it worked but then lining corners up and cutting everything made it real. 
Super fun! I'd know how to do it again but am not hurrying to start that project.
We realized that the siding was just getting us ready for the soffit.





You wouldn't think that the soffit would warrant four photos until you realized how much time it took to put up. With two of us is was surely faster but it was still a lot of cutting. The corners were a conundrum but my husband got creative and by the last one he was a pro.

We were originally going to have dark grey siding and light grey roof. When the roof tiles arrived too dark, we just switched the theme around.


This the front yard of my house, we painted the siding a dark grey with a purple undertone (my husband actually chose this color and I'm glad he talked me into it), same yellow on the door and you can see the roof is a light and medium grey mixed asphalt tile. We wanted the shed to look like a more modern version of our house.

Still more to come...

Color!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!  

Tulips

This is one of my favorite paintings. Nobody has bought it yet. It's just 8"x8" but it has so much presence. I think its time that it goes to a nice home.  

Happy New Year!

Another thank you to those of you who supported me last year.  It was a great year and I learned a lot.  Here's to hoping that this upcoming year will be just as good, if not better. Maybe I'll even use a different colour other than pink.
