Just about done...

As you can see, so much has happened since my last post. Once all of the siding is on, the railing and spindles will go up on both porches. The last thing to complete will be the garage roof. Then we can just sit and enjoy it all. Gram is doing well. We are all anxious for everything to be done.(Abby included) We will still put in the garden this year, but the landscaping around the house will probably have to wait. I'm really excited about that part, but just too tired! We have a few landscaping ideas that should turn out pretty nice. We have plenty of time for that kind of fun stuff.

Can you find our guard dog in the pic?

new ceiling on the wrap-around porch

how about that siding?

more and more getting done!

back porch is looking great!

just about done with both porches

All we need now are a few stairs and the wrap around porch can be used once again! The wood ceiling, recessed lighting and decking are all complete and look great! We had to special order the boards for the steps facing the back yard since they are longer, but it should be all complete soon! Unfortunately, the rain has really slowed things down. Another big step is that Barry was able to till the garden!!! Since most of the materials are now on the house, the garage is looking like a garage again and not a warehouse. The guys have to do the trim on some more windows, put on the new storm doors, gutters and finish the siding yet. I'll take more pics soon. You aren't going to believe the new back porch! It's just beautiful. The brackets and supports are up for the old swing. We just have to sand and paint it. The new socket meter is up as well. I'll post more pics soon. Stay tuned!

rain, rain, go away

Well, I think I jinxed us. It's raining today, which puts a hold on the outside work as well as the electric work. Things are still moving along well. Hopefully, all work(house and new garage roof) should be completed in 3wks, depending on the weather. If so, we will have all summer to enjoy it. We must get busy in the garden, but the tiller is buried. I keep telling myself, 'soon enough'. Grandma is doing well and continues to worry about everything. If she didn't worry about everything, then we would worry, 'what's wrong with Gram?'.

wrap around porch roof is about done!
