While We Were Away...


Check out the surprise waiting for us upon our return from a week away down in Emerald Isle, NC.  Steve also took a little vacation, but he was hard at work again last week on the house and was able to install 4 of the front windows!  We are so pleased with them and especially like the Poplar White exterior trim color which ties in beautifully with the roof.


As you can see in this next picture, he was successful in his efforts to bridge the 2 inch gap from the upper house to the lower portion with the furring strips and second layer of Zip wrap.  The windows sit perfectly within the wrap and will accept the siding with no problems.


Hopefully the west side of the house goes as smoothly and quickly and we will have the whole front complete by week's end??  Steve is a rock star!


My college friend, Dell, came up from the Albany area for a weekend visit and we had a great time scouting out the wares at the Bouckville antique show.  I was specifically looking for these tractor seats which aren't as plentiful as I was expecting, but I only need 2 and here they are!  I will keep you posted on my plans for them once I launch into my artsy project:)
