House Update.

Okay. So I haven't not been very diligent on keeping you updated on the house...or anything else to be honest. I just need like 10 more hours in my day and then I'll be set to get EVERYTHING accomplished. Yeah...10 hours would do it...

Since the weather has been warming up we have gotten "spring fever." We have been doing alot of work on the outside....I am sure the neighbors are happy about that! It's looked pretty drabby until lately! This is my cute "contractor" hanging siding above the windows!! Yes he did charge extra for the pic!

Things at the house are going well. Last weekend we created an "insta-yard"...it was perfect.

However in true "Wright Fashion"...of course there was a process, story to go along with the project. :-) And it started out with two HUGE piles of dirt being delivered on our driveway...all because Clint came across some FREE DIRT. I mean who wouldn't pass it up! He used it to level out some of the backyard. Let's be honest, he saw a huge opportunity to play in the dirt!

Aren't they pretty!

The man behind the mess!

Anyway after the dirt was all moved...it was time to tackle the sod. I know many of you won't believe this buy I, Aubrey, did help lay the sod. I got messy, dirty, and yes I now need a pedicure. haha.

The every so ugly "BEFORE".

It's pretty awesome to see your front yard show up on a truck!

Well after the sod was down, Clint got going on the brick. We have been brainstorming on how to "spice" up the brick on the house and Clint decided to "re-point" the morter. Which basically means he takes a big thing that looks like a pastry bag filled with white morter and re mortered the entire brick on the house (well he only has the front done so far.) Yes he had to "draw" on top of every single morter line on the brick. I don't know how he did it...but it looks fabulous! Everyone in our neighborhood has stopped by to comment on what a difference it has made. ....hmm...now it's just on to the landscaping. Does it ever end?

Brick- After Clint's Magic!

Left is "before" and the Right is "after"..also notice the beautiful new grass out front!! :-)

And last but not least...we tiled the backsplash in the kitchen. We used glass tile....I love it! (notice I am using the word "we" quite often...let's be honest...Clint tiled...I watched and cheered him on!)

Yeah..our house is becoming a home!
