I’ve been a slacker this week with posting, mostly because Alex and I were both sick Monday, Tuesday she was better but still home (no daycare until 24 hours fever free) and then I was busy with work because I had missed a day and a half. Anyhow… Our carpenter has been moving along on …
The carpenter has stayed on to complete some more work for us. Last week he rebuilt the soffit and got the shakes prepared to replace the missing ones. He’s back this week to replace the shakes, put up the crown on the soffit, do the siding around the window and then some moldings throughout. Saturday …
The full crew work is now completed! Our contractor will continue to be here working on finishing up things but the work he needed his crew for is complete and it looks great. To help with cost I will be painting the siding that was done yesterday and all window sashes but the tower is …

We were away on friday but our contractor and one helper came over for the day. They got the molding up on the tower soffit and finished up the painting so above the attic windows is now completely done. The staging was lowered down to the attic windows so today they can trim those out …
It looks like Tuesday they got rained out as well, they finished up the outline of the panels but that was about 3 pieces of wood so not much. Wednesday our contractor came by himself and finished up the upper panels, then primed and painted them. He said Friday he will be there with one …
The crew showed up Monday morning, a little on the later side thinking it would be raining, it held off, until it didn’t! just after lunch the sky opened up and dropped buckets of rain down. The guys scrambled to pick up and get under shelter. It rained for hours after that but they made …
