Rewrite the following paragraph in the active voice.
Last summer our house was painted by me. The job took about two weeks. First, the
exterior was washed using warm water and a mild detergent. Then all the chinks and
pores in the walls were sealed with putty. After the putty had had a chance to dry, the
exterior could be painted. A latex paint was used because it is easy to apply and cleans
up with water. A whole week was needed to finish this part of the job. I was very
careful to apply the paint evenly because I did not want to have to apply two coats. A
colour was used that was very close to the original colour. Our house is a two-story
house, which meant that a tall ladder was needed to do the second story. The paint had
to be balanced on the top rung of the ladder while I worked. When the job was finished,
a great deal of satisfaction was felt by me. I had to pat myself on the back. Even my dad
said that a good job was done.
