Foundation Painting

I haven't made a post in over a week, so mostly I'm just making this post so my parents won't think I died (because I don't think I've posted anything on Facebook in that time, either).

I've been really busy, which is why I haven't posted much. That might seem weird since this week has been Fall Break in my district, but I've been doing a project around the house. Since we moved in almost two years ago the foundation has needed to be painted. Here's a photo from Meredith's birthday party last year which clearly shows how bad the foundation looks:

I actually made a post about this party, and I was embarrassed to put up many photos of the back yard because of the poor paint job.

That poor paint job was made even worse after we replaced the retaining walls in the front of the house. The area in front of the garage became an ugly mess, as evidenced by this picture:

So after working Monday and Tuesday getting stuff done at work that I can't do when students and teachers are in the building (network maintenance stuff), I spent all day Wednesday prepping the foundation and Thursday and Friday morning painting. This is what it looks like now:
