I’ve been saying I was going to take a day off to paint all summer and finally the weather was nice, someone else was here so I felt safe working up on a ladder and it all worked out. So I took today off of work and got some painting done. Maribeth has continued her …
Well we went camping for labor day weekend so no house progress but on the way back to NH we picked up my sister-in-law and she’s out for the week to work on the house! Ryan took Tuesday off and the two of them finished up the paint removal on the porch soffit/posts that the …
This weekend was the first free weekend in a while that we could get some work on the bathroom done (and by we I mostly mean Ryan because someone has to occupy the little one). Ryan had to work last weekend so he was happy to have a free weekend and jumped right in to …
I came home yesterday to find all the work we contracted out completed! The top crown molding was installed and the small side pieces of moldings on the windows by the driveway side were all installed! Now it’s up to me to get to painting so we can really call it done! We have work …

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 …
The crew is getting towards the end, I can’t imagine they’ll be here after this week, maybe just our main contractor for a few small things we’ll pay him to do (some more moldings to install) but the main work we contracted out is coming quickly to a close. Today they came EARLY and got …
