Not only did we get a new fence this past weekend, but we also got a new garage door!!! I never thought I would be soo excited about getting a new garage door, but things change when it's your own place, don't they? Our old one didn't work very well and had this weird brown/cream paneling thing...not the prettiest one on the block! So, home depot put the new one in on Monday!! Then, the wood above the garage door was falling apart and needed painting so it would match the garage door. So, I painted it and we both put it up on Tuesday! We love it!

Jim is tearing the old wood down. If you make that picture larger, Jim kind of looks cross eyed or something...funny, I think! He kept dropping the nails and made me run all around picking them up off the driveway so we wouldn't get a flat tire later on. I think he enjoyed that.

And here is our new garage door!!! So exciting for all of you reading, I know!

And just so you know, we did go for a bikeride in the morning and then went to a cookout and saw fireworks in the evening, so we do have a life besides working on our house=) Hope you all had a Happy 4th of July!!

That garage door looks great, guys! Maybe Jim should work with his eyes crossed more often. :)

Looks wonderful!

We are going to Community days tonight at Governor Mifflin to see the fireworks...DO you remember going there a few times? I forget who all we were with, it was so long ago :)

Hey guys! The garage and fence look great. Wish I could be there to help. Miss you both bunches. It stinks I won't see you all when you come out here. I will already be in Florida. Take care and God bless!
