No, Seriously.

Well...we had more leaks in the house. After the driving rain last Tuesday we found leaks coming in the front windows in the boys bedrooms and in the garage windows. No Seriously, we did. So, first Alex and Tom spent that rainy/windy night throwing up some tarps. Then we desperately called our roofer/sider and asked him to come finish up the tyvek on the gables (that the carpenter really should have done). He's super busy, but found his way to the 3V on Thursday and did the patch job needed for the impending snow storm Friday. He's been doing a wee bit of work this week  as well but I don't want to post a picture and ruin the big reveal. The siding and trim is really transforming the look of the house. And I love it.

We'd really like help with the painting Th/F/Sa/S after Thanksgiving. No, Seriously, we will take ANY help. Even if you think you are not the best painter, we can put you to work.  We've got the upstairs rooms primed and ceilings done, so we are ready for color. The official color palette of The Triple V will be shared in a future, dedicated to paint, blog entry (because no matter what anyone tells me, paint IS exciting). But if you can't wait, then you should come paint.....

As an added benefit, I am happy to provide handkerchief hair coverings for any helpers, so you too can look this good.

Did I mention we've listed our house? No,  Seriously, we did and we want to sell it.   So, please, keep spreading the word. It's a great house but mostly I will miss my neighborhood. If you move here it is likely you'll see me around, running on the bike path, taking my kids to the parks and visiting with our friends/neighbors. If that isn't incentive enough to move here, I don't know what is.

And as we approach Thanksgiving, a year after we closed on the Triple V property, I'll take a quick moment to say again how Thankful we are for the opportunity to build our dream home. No, Seriously. We will never be able to express our gratitude enough to our family and friends for all their support. 

As Alex said on his FB page, an updated pic, now a year later, will be shared as soon as we take it!
