BEFORE: Unpainted Garage
Quite honestly, several small parts of the house are, or were, just plain ugly. Years of neglect and undermaintenance especially mark the back yard area. Weeds, vines, liquor bottles, broken glass, tires, junk, tree stumps — you get the idea.

One day in that old back yard, Becca and I decided to make a small paver base for our grill and trash cans with some left over bricks. As Becca often does with other house updates, once the project was complete, she took a picture and posted it on twitter. To my horror, I saw the picture, which captured more than just our recent paving success. We were advertising our nasty old garage siding to the rest of the world in the same picture, which became an instant motivator to repaint the following weekend.
Needless to say, I asked Becca to post a "fresher" picture of the same area on twitter to show we did not live in a total dump. Latex paint can really work wonders.
