After several weeks of sweaty labor in this outrageous heat by numerous talented general contractors and painters, the long overdue major repairs and face lift on our house are complete! (I have no doubts that our neighbors are as excited as we are!)... not to mention our new mac-daddy party deck ready for grillin' and chillin'!

Now if only the temperature would drop 30 degrees and the pesky flies and mosquitoes would die off, perhaps I could enjoy it... Woohoo!

Somebody please tell me again why on earth I moved back to North Carolina???
