So the siding project is underway (has been for about a week, actually). It really does look better than I thought it would – I guess they’ve made significant improvements in the color and texture of vinyl siding since most of the houses in our neighborhood were sided. We’re doing the house in a pretty pale yellowy-creamy color – it looks really nice with the brick front. The only bad part is, since our house is on a hill, the basement concrete courses were painted to match the house – and they clash pretty awfully with the new siding – but we have to wait until it’s warmer to repaint. Oh, well. As an added bonus, the siding guy (who’s doing the job alone – I would’ve thought it would be a two-person job at least!) has to take down the gutters to put up some soffit vents, and he’s cleaning them out while they’re down. Yay! That’s one thing I’m not<\/i> sorry to say we haven’t done yet in our almost three years of home ownership. For one thing, it involves ladders. For another thing, it involves…ladders. I’m not afraid of heights, except on wobbly ladders. The three step ladder I have to use for interior painting is bad enough!!! Yes, I have a fear of ladders. And spiders. If I ever saw a spider while standing on a ladder…well, it’d be like those cartoons where the character (usually Sylvester) uses the ladder like stilts and…oops, I’m rambling…time to get back to work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
