Electrical updating
I have spent several hours over the last few days taking measurements, comparing color samples of siding (who knew there were so many shades of blue - or that too many of them look like gray :/ ), and getting estimates. It's fun and very rewarding to know we're finally at this point. We had the appraisal and while it wasn't as high as we initially hoped for, so far the numbers are working in our favor on supplies and the appraiser was confident that after we make this round of improvements our value will greatly increase. Not to mention that the house is already worth more than double what we paid for it, so we won't complain! We will be on a very tight budget, so getting the best prices on supplies will be crucial and we are considering what all we can do as sweat equity - it ought to be an adventure to say the least - and this is going to totally transform the look of our home and boost the curb appeal as well.
I thought I would post a couple of pics of houses that are similar in style and colors to what we are aiming for - hopefully the people that live in these houses weren't home or freaked out if they saw me pull up outside their homes with my camera.

My next post will hopefully be that we've placed our orders and the work is underway!
