The new siding is all up, the new trim is all in place and caulked and sealed, the base color has been applied and by the end of daylight tonight the trim will be painted and the house will be officially 'done' on the exterior ... alright ... almost 'done' ...
Tomorrow I should finish up on the front porch project (all new decking) and put the final touches on the bracing for the back fence, which has sagged during the last year to the point of not opening without some serious effort. Some stain for the new porch, some paint for the new gate slats, and one more 20' length of trim and we'll be able to call it finished.
Robin placed flowers in the flower garden and planted veggies (tomatoes and basil (yum!)) in the back-yard garden, Tomorrow we'll set up the 'gazebo' and put together a small shaded sitting area in the back yard. We're homing in on being done with construction and fixing stuff up. Our friend Roger did a great job finishing up the interior trim / moulding work for us so all I have left to do is freshen up some caulking and put some stain on two remaining interior doors.
The rest will be 'staging' and cleaning. We're looking forward to being done with the frenetic effort to prepare this place for sale and hopefully we'll get a little breather before we pick it up and do it all over again with the Verdant Circle house once the renters vacate.
Alrighty! Think I'll start checking around for cheap diesel in Longmont :)
