Spring is here so good weather for exterior painting. All 17 window screens need rebuild. Fortunately this is a RockHouse so we only have to paint the eaves and window/door trim. Ben's made great progress. The north side was the greatest challenge with the high roofline and all the electric, phone and utilites coming into the house on that side. Found scaffolding at a steal on Craigslist which made the job easier. Eaves completed end of June.
Ben helped me build a peoriod correct yard light from parts we found in the barn. At least it looks period appropriate to me ;). Exterior is really shaping up nicely; but would be much better if we would get some rain. NONE to speak of since Winter. We are in stage 4 water restrictions (which means only watering by hand on a certain day of the week). Fortunately the garden is still growing (amazingly).
This month he started prepping for painting the garage, doors and windows trim which is very tedious. Many years of build up. We removed the garage walls and doors, so all is open right now. We are investigating options on how to close it back in yet restore the craftsmans style of the home.
