Sweat Equity!

Posted in House Makeover

Well, the painting is finally done! The total cost was around $1,300.00 (thousands less than hiring prof. painters) as we hired a guy my husband works with to spray it and we did most of the prep and about 1/3 of the painting. We  were also very fortunate to have saved 42% on all our paint. We just had our house re-appraised and the value increase $75,000 more than what we bought it for 8 months ago...now that's sweat equity!!! Well, not all of it, we have invested about $12,000 into it as well.

I love that color of green! I have always wanted to paint our house a color like that. Good job on the home makeover!

That really looks great. I love green, my dining room is painted a similar olive color. The burgundy was a nice choice for the front door, too. I bet your glad all your hard work has paid off! :-)

Your home is SO lovely! What's a great amount of work and love worth? 75 Grand, apparently! Be proud of your accomplishments!

BTW, I love your "socialism" posts! I always respond to the socialization question like this: "Why would I want them socialists? We're Republicians!" I usually get a laugh out of it!
