After my migrane on Friday we had a pretty good weekend. We built a gym in our back yard right after we moved into our house we did it outselves so we made sure it would never fall down but also didn't go all extravagant. We decided at the time that gutters were not needed but after a year and a half it was obvious we were wrong. We've had a problem with water getting in one corner and erosion around the building. So our first project of the weekend was to get the gutters up. SU's parents bought the gutters and downspouts for us for Christmas we just had to find a way to get them up. Since it wasn't built for them we had to do some creative thinking.
I think it looks much more finished now and I hope it fixes our problems.

Second We need new windows in the whole house which we knew when we bought it but just didn't have the money before this years taxes. So we decided to go ahead and do the back windows this year and the rest this fall or next spring when we can afford to. We signed the contract back in February and were told they would be in around 3-4 weeks later. So they called Monday and said they could install them Tuesday
Well my bosses said I could take off so they came and installed the windows yesterday. I think they look good and hopefully they will help with our heating/cooling bills and some outside noise too.

We didn't do the baywindow thing down below because we want to put a door back there (there was one there before you can tell).
I'm so gald we're finally getting to check a few big things off our TO DO list. Now that our credit cards are all paid off I hope to be able to check a few more things off too.
I just had to share I'm so happy
