The End

Well, it's done... at least from a distance. We still need to paint the trim around the windows and doors and build a rock mailbox
to match. But we are
really happy with it.
a few years from now we'll change the
shingles to a brown, but they don't need it yet.

almost there

I really have come to understand how Extreme Makeover can do what they do in a week. After a minor setback over the weekend they moved right along. On Friday they hit a wire but we didn't find it until Sat. night after they had left. So Monday morning Kevin and our neighbor ran a new wire from the garage through the ceiling and down the kitchen wall. As Kevin was putting the cover back on the panel. It popped again and he came running out saying "No mas, No mas!!. They understood that and he had hit another wire. That was a little easier fix. But Monday was a little behind. Tues the thought they'd get the trim on. But lo and behold this is what they had done on Tues.
Today they thought they would finish. I got up early and started watering the yard at 6:30 thinking it would be done before they got here at 8. But at 6:35 I heard the dog bark and a drill run. They were rearing to go. I made them some muffins which they pretty much ate on the run. By about noon they had the all the stucco and trim done and started on the rock.



It looks great. They ran out of rock so will have to finish Monday. But here it is so far Michael will you recognize us? Now we have to paint the shed to match.
