I want this paragraph in passive to active voice
(Last summer our house was painted by me. First, the exterior was washed using warm water and a mild detergent. Then all of the chinks 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. A color was used that was very close to the original color.
When the job was finished, a great deal of satisfaction was felt by me. Even my dad said that a good job was done.)
