Day 24-26: New Siding!

So I know I skip a few days, and it's not that nothing is getting done... it's just that I already probably over chronicallize, and you don't want to see my new fire alarms.

Day 22: Steps

Not a whole lot to report on this one... some progress on the stairs.

Day 20: Post Holiday Updating As of Dec 2

These updates will be big and fast because while I might have been sitting on my toukas noshing on poultry and pie, these dudes were working hard!

Got up this morning (12/2) and here is where we stand:



Notice anything different?



WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!



The front door (used to be between living room and sun room) is making its way to the front:





Closet doors have been put on our laundry closet:



The kitchen and dining walls have been smoothed and spackled:





The back step is forming:



And well OK fine, spoiler alert... by the end of the day, the front door is actually in place:











And well I may not be able to decorate but check out the neighbor's bling helping my cause:

Day 11: Developments in the Back and Front Entrances

Now moving forward, perhaps one might note the step no longer has a backpack stuffed hole in it:
