Scott: I saw your blog post today.
Me: Oh yeah? What’d you think?
Scott: Your post was about a house from a magazine. What’s that got to do with our house?
Me: Sometimes I take inspiration from other people’s homes. What’s wrong with that?
Scott: It just doesn’t show anything about what we’re doing to the house. Isn’t your blog only about our house?
Me: Yes, it is, but how do you think I come up with the color scheme? Or some of the projects we’re working on, like the stairs?
Scott: Ok. But you should post about what we did this week.
And that is one reason why i left our treads wood and only painted the risers, LOL! Good luck with the painting and I can't wait to see the final product.
Thanks for the encouragement – I'll be starting with the risers too, then see how the rest of it goes. Considering that our stairs are the first thing you see when entering the house, getting them finished is certainly a priority!
You both are doing such a great job on the house! I can't wait to see the finish product…keep the posts coming! :)
i never thought about the stairs thing…i guess you could do every other stair and then wait till they dry to do the others?
Yep, you're on the right track! Once my stairs are done, I'll review using step-by-step photos! Stay tuned!
Funny how we are in the same place with the ivy. I just wrote about the same thing! Ivy looks pretty but is such a killer–and a pain to remove. I am wondering how long it will be before the rootlets give up their grasp on the trunk. It may be years before we solve this problem…good luck with the fight.
