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 color was used that was very close to the original color. Our house is a two-story house, which meant that a tall ladder was needed to do the second story. The paint can 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.

I found the instructions for this question online. We are supposed to rewrite this passage in the active voice.

In the active voice, the structure of a sentence is direct and simple: subject + verb + object. The subject is the one performing the action. On the other hand, in the passive voice, the subject is the one receiving the action indicated by the verb. When transforming a sentence from passive to active voice and vice-versa we must pay attention to maintain the verb tense unchanged.
