I'm currently a part of a volunteer team that is remodeling the outsides of homes that have been cited by the city for "blight". That is, their neighbors complained that they have an ugly house.
Of course these people are have reasons why they can't help themselves, they're old, they're infirm, they have mental problems. So that's where we come in.
I'm the "designer" head of the team, which also means I'm the only woman. We toured the homes and I took measurements and photos, etc, so I could draw up plans on how to fabulize the houses.
This one man's house is a crack up. He had toilets for flower planter boxes, light-up reindeer and chachskis galore out front. Then, we walk in back and find that he has a little friend living back there. I had to take a video.
I'm going to call her Miss Piggie.
Hopefully we can re-do her house, too!
Happy 18th Birthday, Alayna!

Lou, if you want a hand with this project (after Nov. 4th) count me in! I can paint (kinda) and hammer (kinda) and stuff...
She's wagging her tail when you talk to her, that is so cute!
i love that you used the chaskies word. made me lol.
It will be funny if the Pig-Shack looks cuter than the main house, but I know you can do it. Maybe a big wolf painted on the side that's trying to huff and puff? Keep your fans posted!
