Over this weekend we had a great blessing and many family members came down to help. We had 11 people who took on different jobs and made progress. Jordan got the task of power washing the deck. He had a big messy job. The girls, Sarah and Nicole helped by cleaning 60 or 62 spindles for the staircase banister. Staci and Mark were able to completly give two coats of paint to 3 new doors. Judy and Ken have been providing their support, Judy has cleaned and put Old English on all my cabinets in the Kitchen! wow, there is a lot of those. Ken has helped with his expertise of electrical knowledge. He was able to switch some lights around and hang some ceiling fans. Dan, Nicole's boyfriend was a gem and did some serious landscaping trimming some bushes and was able to mow a ditch in the front that was being to look like a small jungle. Kay, Dean's mom, has been able to come over during the weeks and help paint. My mom has been helping paint some closets and walls. We have many walls that need paint among other things.
We have run into some problems with some of the walls. They have been worse than what we had thought and Dean has had to really put some work into them by mudding and sanding and sometimes mudding again. In one room, we thought we had it almost completely painted and then the paint started to just peel right off. That sucked and we had to start over with mudding and then priming.
We have been really greatful to all those who have helped us. We really could not do it without their help.
Here it is with the bricks done and although this picture doesn't show it, the sheet rock is up above and has been mudded.
Most of the siding has been replaced and ready to paint. There is still some to be replaced I guess that will happen this week. Here are the new basement doors. They look really nice.
New siding
Hope to have more pictures from the inside soon.
