Or I take on much more than I can handle - frequently! It is good to know I am not alone.

And yes, thank goodness for Gary and Bud. And the proper tools.<BR/><BR/>When we moved into our house in Pacifica, California, the home had been redecorated in the 70s and their color scheme for the exterior was--yes, you guessed it--brown and yellow. Not a sunny yellow. A muddy yellow that just looked terrible with the brown. Our new color scheme--sage green and rose. Not quite plum but close. Vast improvement.<BR/><BR/>The grounds at Plumtree Village look lovely. Trees!
