We removed the climbing ivy, painted the entire exterior, including the doors, windows, and shutters, ripped out all the old landscaping and planted new stuff (which needs some time to grow), and we paid to replace the roof and gutters. I'm so happy with the way it looks now, even though it turned out a little more blue than I thought it would.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I have to compare every so often so I can convince myself that stuff is getting done, even though it seems so slow!

This is my favorite use of before pictures. Otherwise you forget just how bad it was when you're used to the improvements.
