The stairs





































More painting...





















Sat. morning we had even more painting fun. Maggie & Zac Weintraub joined us. As did Mike's dad. And the girls were more than happy to help!

The plumber finished early this week. Josh continues to build the stairs. And Bill has almost completed the 1st coat of Hillside Green on the siding.

Painting Party













Thanks to the help of some wonderful ladies, we began painting the siding last Friday afternoon. We began around 3pm and continued into the darkness with work lights. A sincere thanks to Faith Wood, Liz Harty, Shelby Harty and Jess Nichols. We painted about 1/2 of the siding: the 1st coat. We olan to apply the 2nd coat once the boards have been nailed to the house.

The work continues, even in the heat...













Bill Doran (Mike's dad) has been priming all of the exterior siding, both front and back. It has been extremely hot (high 90's), so we are extra grateful for his dedication. The electrician came and installed all the wiring last week. This week the plumber began. The upstairs tub has been installed. The doors and windows arrived on Wed. evening. All of the widows were install today. Josh began working on building the staircase to the second floor. Mike and he have come up with a nice design.
