We primed the garage this evening. We will attempt to paint tomorrow. All in all, it actually took less time than we thought to prime the entire front. Less than 2 hours, even while tending kids, retrieving toys, putting one to bed, etc. We figure at this rate, since we only have the front of the house to paint, we will have the house painted in a week or so. If the weather holds out.
We also have nearly completed our front garden bed. The retaining wall is in and we have about half the dirt we need to fill it. All that's left is about 2 more loads of dirt, planting, and mulch. Of course, the bed looks completely different than any of my drawings - it took on a more organic shape when we actually built it, as I figured it might. And half my plants will die if I put them where I planned, so I have to recalculate that too. But the bed is nearly done, even if it will be a bit bare until next year.
I will post pics in a few weeks when we actually finish.

Yay progress! Can't wait to see the pictures. (And sneaky sun, being where we don't expect it to be...)
I've often found that nothing I plan goes the way it's planned. I guess it's a good thing I'm so laid back! I can't wait to see the final product.
