So fresh and so clean - Thursday, May 18th

Finished up the deck and railing ...



















oh. i forgot ... at the end of the deck you may be able to see a little ground level brick planter ... pretty cool ... i am going to put some vegetable plants in there and see what happens. i've never done any gardening before ... i think it's all sun and water, but we'll see.














later in the day i moved out to the front side of the house to repaint the sidewalk leading to the front door. all of the concrete is gray, which i don't mind, but they didn't mix in the anti-slip agent that most people use with concrete paint and as a result it gets pretty slick when it's wet. i decided to go with light brown to try to maintain a five color exterior scheme ...

i think this turned out just fair ... i am not in love with the color because it is a little lighter than i wanted, but the next brown available may be too dark. i have decided to wait and see what it looks like flanked by flowers before i change it. another option is to go back to grey. also, when i get around to buying a new front door, it will be red, so the contrast would probably also suit this color. we'll see ...
