Casey the Handy Man

So, we've lived in the Redbud Terrace house for a little over a year now- and we have a list of upgrades we want to make to it before we move on (which is probably 100 years away!). We want a pergola, hardwood floors (OK, laminate), better landscaping- especially in the backyard, and it needs new interior paint pretty desperately (that will probably happen after kid(s) are much older!) We (meaning Casey) tackled a big project last weekend- he painted the door black, put in a peephole, replaced the doorbell, replaced the entire door handle, knob, and lock, and put up black shutters!!! It looks SO wonderful, and I'm so proud of him!!! It was a more labor intensive job than we initially expected- and he was so meticulous to make sure it all turned out perfectly.
Here is a "before" picture of the house. We had just tidied up the front yard landscaping this past Spring:

And here are the after pictures!!! Doesn't it look more polished, now?

(The landscaping now looks a little shabby; but we'll get that taken care of soon!)

I love it; and can't wait for him to tackle the next DIY project! :) Pergola, here we come!!!!!
