May 9, 2008  update

 

Every day brings progress... some is large, some small. All of it
is important. And - thankfully - we're still having fun!

The new arches downstairs are almost done.
Here Mike smoothes the cut that adds
detail to the top.

For some of us painting is just hard work,
 for others it's an adventure. Certainly
 the new colors upstairs are bold and dynamic,
like our hard working crew.

Cleaning up damage on outside siding before painting takes place has occupied a
 lot of time. Blemishes aren't really covered
 up by paint so this work will pay
off in the quality of the final product.

The range hood is installed. Normally you'd simply put a wood panel in front of it. But looking to the future it was decided to split the panel and install the bottom
half so that it could be removed should repairs ever be necessary to the hood.

Another small but interesting detail was
to have the kitchen counter cut so that a plug
fits perfectly into it - not even requiring a face plate.

The process of installing the lattice around
 the base of the house is now underway.
The back stairs were rebuilt and extended
 into the yard so that fill dirt
may be put around it.
