We continue to stay busy--we are working on baseboards, casings, headers, or chair rails any given evening--I guess I shouldn't say we, because it is Todd that is doing all that!!!!

Our kitchen cabinets are now 100% complete. They came down on Wednesday to install the toe kicks, as well as seal up all the edges, and adjust any doors, now that things have settled slightly.


All our dirt piles have been flattened. We can actually see out of all our windows now. Our driveway is in better shape. We will still have to have some gravel brought in in the spring, and probably have to smooth it out again. We will be planting grass and trees in the spring as well.


Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie were here helping this past weekend. Todd and Dad started to work on the front deck, while Eliza and Mom finished painting the lower level of the house. All we have left to paint are the dormers, which Todd is working on this afternoon.

We had Jaywest Construction back in to finish up the corner boards (The white strips at all the corners), as well as to put soffit on the covered porch areas. They also install all the eavestroph and down spouts.

We still have to paint the back wall as well.
