Default was off the grid, and now back on

I logged in this morning only to discover that I haven't been on here since the 12th YIKES! But I have a good excuse. The wife and kid went to Southern California for a week, and will be back today. So what did I decide to do while they were gone? No not eat pizza in my underwear playing video games, and no parties, it was time to get down to business.

The day after then left on the 13th I removed the gutters on my house, pressure washed the whole thing and then caulked, patched, primed and painted my whole house by myself! It was 6 days of pure brutal work. 3 of the days were almost 95 degrees. The sun chased me around the shaded areas, but I got it done in time. Its a surprise, she doesn't know. I hope she likes it, I sure do.

Oh and after painting, I decided to clean all the windows inside and out. It was the most satisfying job I have ever done. Now onto the posting of the pictures.

PS, did you already know what color she wanted the house? You may end up repainting it if she thinks the color sucks! I think it looks great but you know women!
