The Life for Me

The fellas got started on the brick work last week. Brick and mortar are both darker than I had hoped they would be, but they still look really nice. Something got lost in translation and room wasn't left for the window trim. Hopefully that can be corrected without to much effort, time and money. Some things go really well, and some... Hey but we are still making progress! Look for an open house and BB-Q some time this fall.

The majority of the windows went in over the last two days. No stone throwing please. Most seemed to go in without too much fuss. The triple in the back dormer and the two small windows in the front dormers were a little tricky, but once again Tim and Bobby (pictured taking down the hand rail) came to the rescue. There are still two french doors to set in the dining room, but those will have to wait until the porch decking goes on. The porch decking is waiting on the masons to rough-in the chimney and set the piers. Lots to think about.

So maybe it's not quite as pretty as the Toyota, but it's 4WD baby. When you've got a farm you need a truck to go with it, and this one should do just fine.
