Finally did something to the outside of my house.

The decks needed to be stained (the back one is still a work in progress) and the front of the house in general needs to get started on.  We will do a little at a time.  I decided to paint the door today because the conditions were favorable and it takes me no time at all to do tasks like that.  It is therapeutic, unlike cleaning the house, which is purely a pain because you never see progress. At least with a painted door or stained deck it stays that way for years.  We are also making a rock walkway to minimize dirt coming in through the front.  We will be planting a few flower bulbs so that flowers pop up in the front of our house in the spring for the first time.  Eventually we will get to shrubs etc....  Here are the pics of the door and deck.  You don't have to like the color because our family does.  Just admire my handy work ;)
