Sidings All Done!

Gary has finished the siding all around the house (hooray!). He worked hard for the past months (starting first week of August), often working late at nights when he comes home and also during weekends. Here is a view from the front. The narrow beam of wood showing is where the future porch roof will be attached. Then at the cove between the living room and the kitchen will soon stand the sunroom. And here is how we plan for the front of our house to look like in the future...(Gary used the Punch Pro software to design our house) And this is how it appears from the back... This is how we want the back to look like in the future... The porch, sunroom and deck will all have to wait as our budget will permit.

At heto ang pinakamalapit sa parol na kinaya kong gawin... Una, meron akong mga kawayan na pinag-hugis "star" at tinalian ko ng hose na me mga ilaw pamasko... Tapos, me mga "star" na gawa sa "colored glass" na binili ko online, na kinabitan ko ng ribbon para magmukhang parol gaya ng sa Pilipinas. Lima ang binili ko. Hindi ko lang malagyan ng ilaw unless bibili ako ng de-baterya. At ngayong marunong na akong gumawa ng tunay na wreath, walang limit ang imahinasyon ko kung pano ko dedekorasyunan ang wreath...eh ano pa nga ba kundi maglagay ng star sa gitna...Dalawang wreaths ang nilagyan ko nito. The rest of my Christmas outdoor decors are mainly American...pero alam nyo naman sa kahit sa Pinas, merong Santa Claus at Christmas tree at snowman... Eh pano naman ang kainan ng Pino
