Something New

I spent a few days working on the fascia and soffit this week. Brian helped me with the majority of it..couldn't have done it without him. It is nice to see some of the house being sealed up for the outside with a new finished look. I had to finish it all so we could get the shingles on and be officially dried it. I am getting a little behind due to some traveling for work so hopefully we will see some progress now. Maranda is displaying this years green beans and an apple pie made from the tree in the back yard...not to shabby.

Catch Up

I have to play catch up because it has been awhile since my last post. I have been filling time working through small projects trying to prepare for the rush of August and September. I got the chimney tore out of the back room and the new footer poured. The mason is coming next week to price the new one so we can have some heat. It seems like no matter how far down the line we go, there is always something left to be demolished. I got the old chestnut beam I saved from our old shed installed as the support for the floor around the stair case. I love to recycle and especially when it is some old rare wood. I have been able to notice the days getting shorter so the panic is about to set in.
