Changes Next Door

So, if you've ever been to our house in the last year and a half we've lived here, you have seen the hideous eye sore to the right of us--the pale green siding, the weeds 5 feet high (from this we learned that there is a city ordinance against having weeds over 4 feet in your yard--you get fined), the random lawn ornaments littered in the bare dirt yard... you get the idea. No one has lived there for a couple of years, and it has been bought and sold by different "house flippers" several times just since we've lived here.
WELL . . . all that has changed! In the last few weeks, look what has happened: yahoo!! I'm sorry I couldn't find a "before" picture, but I know everyone who's been here can probably vividly remember the hideousness!! The house has been completely painted and landscaped! And now they are remodeling the entire inside as well. We are so excited because it makes our culdesac look WAAY nicer, not to mention we are hoping someday we will have some rockin' neighbors move in! (as opposed to the scary child-mo's we were expecting previously.)
I put in one more shot just for your viewing pleasure! It even makes our house look a little outdated!
