And before I got back to Maine, Jim and Teresa had already arrived for a week of working. Much like last year, I believe Jim had a hammer and screw driver in his carry on and started fixing things before he even set foot inside the house. I thought they had the house looking fantastic when I got home, all power washed and sparkling with new doors, but that was nothing compared to how it looked when they left. Fantastic. Everyone worked very hard, and it shows. I only have one set of before and after pictures right now, but I'm sure there will be more to come. I think the kitchen is my favorite part. I really wish I had a before picture of the light fixture. It was just about the ugliest florescent fixture you can imagine...that didn't work.
Before, with Confused Mike and a stove older than me:

After, with the trimmed doors, new knobs and new stove:

Lights! And the wonderful new storm door in the background.

Now that everyone is gone, and Mike is back to work, the productivity will slow way down. But it has been a really great week, and it feels good to have made some huge improvements. Thanks Jim and Teresa!

The kitchen looks great.
I can't wait to put Jim to work in the nursery! I'll give him a bit of a break and then he can dive right into the crazy painting!
Welcome back! That's too funny about the 'other Clare.' Your house looks fantastic! I can't believe all the work you're doing on it...how do you find the time?
Your house looks great!
