Today we had a small army of men working on the house! I think I like my house being touched by 4 or 5 strange guys! When you have time, maybe you (yes, you Dan!) can touch it too…?

Here’s what the house looks like currently. 1/2 of it is gorgeous! The other half, with flaking paint and rotting fascia, not so much. I don’t know when we will paint, but I’d like it to happen sooner rather than later. Then again, I’d like the upstairs to be done too sometime during this decade.

The shakes are pretty much all up, just waiting on new all wood Marvin windows for the 3×5 ft (enlarged to legal size) windows for the kids’ bedrooms-tobe:

Here’s Miguel installing shingles outside our breakfast room window (notice we still haven’t painted or primed since we tore down the wall paper back in…ummm… March?)

our contractor, William, up on the roof

and the gas company guys installing our gas line (maybe we won’t freeze our asses off this winter??!?!)

Other than that, the retaining wall is almost done and the front yard is pretty much leveled. It still looks like a messy construction zone around here, but things are finally getting done! I am sure (well, hopeful) that Dan will update with more entertaining details soon.
