house update : : paint and porch floor
25 March 2008
My blogging has suffered here on account of all that has been going on at the house. My family came up this weekend to help out, and a lot got accomplished.
After some last minute qualms about the colors, Alice and Mom picked "Mountain Pine Green" for the main color- a dark spruce green bordering on blue. The crappy picture here doesn't do it much justice. It looks really sharp.
The exterior doors are in, after an extended effort with Wilson and Cullin last Tuesday night.
Drew and Duncan and I worked on laying the tongue and groove porch flooring this weekend, 2/3 of which is now finished. Cameron and I put up the new structural porch columns on Monday, which are now waiting to be wrapped in trim and painted.
And a special shout out to Colleen and Jess (Colleen's college friend), who became Wood Window Painting Specialists, performing a task that I really dislike: precise taping and painting.
Coming soon: The front gable! I'll be starting to trim out the window "pop out" above the porch roof and put up the shingles on either side of it.
