Quick Update

Here are a few pictures of the house.

Last week Monica's dad (Lance) and family friend Larry came down and helped me finish everything up. The siding is complete, but there are a few finishing touches needed.

This shows the new wood I put around the windows. The wood underneath was super weathered, and figured this would make a nicer finish job. Everything is almost ready for paint.

I am hoping that next week I can prime and paint the windows. At that point, we can paint the windows, front and back doors. Once that is done, we will pretty much be done. We are hoping that at we can get some additional things done in the yard, but at least get the house done before the winter weather sets in.

Its nice to see things come together. It has been a long project, but the finished product was worth it. We are excited to get it done and post the pictures.

Well, I am off to study for a quiz, test, finish an assignment, write a paper, and finish up a presentation. Lucky me!




This shows the new wood that I put around the windows. I bought a pneumatic brad nailer...fun tool! It made things go much faster, and gave a cleaner finish.

Lookin really good! when life isn't so crazy we will have to come by and look at it. Oh and we need to play sometime soon. Now that I don't have to go to bed at 5:00 on Friday and Saturday I can play late. Yeah!
