May 31, 2008  update

 

The front steps are in place, preparation began for
painting the exterior of the building, and
the kitchen cabinets are almost painted.

The brick laying team was back and went to work with their usual skill. The new front steps quickly took shape.

This close up shows the beautiful
detail of their work.

And here the old stands next to the new.

And here we see the finished steps
ready to welcome family and friends
to the Manse for the next 139 years.

Inside Michael and Kelly continued working on the kitchen cabinets. It was time
consuming, messy, detail work where only
perfection was acceptable.

There were so many cabinet doors that they built a special rack to hold them as they dried.

Here we see the front of several of the cabinets almost... almost... finished. The granite counter tops should be installed next week.

Meanwhile outside Tom Yeargin's crew was beginning to prep the exterior for painting. A special thank you to Tom for donating the labor for this critical task.
 

And Pat finally returned from Myrtle Beach to finish up work on the outside lattice.
