Let the sunshine in!

Watching the first few limbs.....

Now that the tree is gone, we (next door) have discovered a lot of new sunshine on our front porch and in our living room! And now that April Showers have begun, our gutters and basement are thanking Dan & Jenny too.

Goodbye

A few last photos of the ol' tree...

Siding

Trimcraft started hanging the siding....and they have a secret admirer.

At Cole's Request

A few photos...

Craftin' that Trim

With a name like Trimcraft, I figure the final phase of doing all the fancy woodwork must be their favorite part of the project. Hey, you guys trimmin' trim today?!

Hey, that's some mighty fine trim!

Wow, check out the new trim!

Hey, I think you need to work on that trim!

Hey, your trim's gettin' some vert!

Just About Done

As I was posting the snowblower photo yesterdaay, I realized how super long ago I had last post. Trimcraft has been plugging away at all of the interior finish work and they're just about done now. Here is the big, beautiful new kitchen.

Beets on the stove, Baby on the floor, Drawings on the counter, and Busy Mama in the kitchen

Busy boys on the stairs. Jase says "Kah, Kah"

Quiet afternoon in the living room. All the action seems to be in the new part of the house now....

Whoa! I haven't seen that done before!

I looked out the window this morning and saw the Trimcrafter's snowblowing Jenny & Dan's roof! I was shocked and amazed, and figured it was blog worthy....

Have You Seen the MG&E Poster?

Tate has not, so he asked Jenny and Dan to pull it out. They graciously did, but would not let Tate take a photograph. So I managed to sneak it off and stick it in the bedroom window, hoping to get a photograph in the morning. Darnet, Jenny was on to us pretty quick.

A zoom in. Shucks! Foiled again!

New Floors Everywhere!

The kitchen floor was laid today - here are Cole & Jase testing it out (in their socks, of course).

Trimcraft has also finished the stairs up to the dining room. Beauuuutiful!

And here is Jase hangin' out on our front steps (next door).

New Floor

They're installing the kitchen floor. Here the subfloor is going down.
