This old fart & her hubby age getting more & more old farty. Every time we talk on a DIY project we end up saying "Well, that is the last time we will do that ourselves. We will just pay someone next time". It started last year when we power washed the house. More recently the painting of the deck & even smaller things like re-upholstering the reclining couch foot rest & today's porch chair refinishing. Is it just us? Seems like you guys still have more energy & spunk than we seem to have these days.
Here are some pics from today's project. I did not get the bench done & that and the tole painting to decorate all of them will have to wait for another day. Mike tried to get me to just throw the chair & rocker out but I just couldn't. The chair is from the oldest factory in our area the Hinkle chair factory & it came from the church I grew up in. The rocker was the rocking chair I rocked my son many miles in then painted it & graduated it to the porch. I first painted them about 15 years ago and the chair was really deteriorated.

Nice job! I hear ya on all the projects. We're gett'n closer and closer to making our move to Texas. But we are thinking more and more about maybe getting into a condo vs a house.
No more lawn to cut, painting, trimming, weeding, and constant things to touch up/fix. Our time can be 100% spent doing things we want to do, not crap we have to do.
On the negative side, well you got neighbors on all sides as well as above and below. Unless we get a townhouse condo. But either one you lose your privacy.
We live in the sticks now, can't really see or hear the neighbors, and you can't beat that!!! So there's a price to pay...... Decisions decisions, this is one that requires lots of mulling over.
