Almost There...


They're just about done with the exterior. They put up the gutters today and will finish up on Wednesday. I'll take some more pictures then and post them. I keep going back to the original pictures of the house before we started and I can't believe how much different it looks but yet it looks like it was always there.


Jim framed in the stairs and put in some temporary steps. It's a lot easier to get up than it was with the ladder. Our cat even ventures up.

A Little Get Away




A fun little trip to NH to get away from all the goings-on at the house. It was a welcome change from the hammering and the heat here.

More Siding and Some Insulation

More of the siding is going up and I'm liking it more and more!

Here's a friend of ours helping to put in blow-in insulation on the first floor. We didn't have any insulation in our entire house. Hopefully with the new furnace, new windows, and now insulation our heating bills will go down (or at least stay the same with the added space).

Cool Guy


Getaway

We got away from the house this weekend by visiting some friends on the Cape. Benny had a great time on the beach and Jack showed off his new swimming skills.
