The other day I totaled up all of the receipts from a summers worth of work... big receipts... siding, roofing, chinking... and little receipts... screws, nails, drip edge. You don't even want to know the total, and those are not the nickels and dimes that I want to talk about.
We are pretty much finished with the exterior, except for the chimney. The old siding is all off, the shear was installed, the new siding installed, windows and doors installed, new porch built, old roofing torn off, new roof decking installed, new crickets built, new roofing installed, soffit completed, shingles on the gable ends done, attic vented (wow, we did a lot this summer).
What is left are the little nickel and dime tasks. We need to hang new porch lights, chink and or caulk around the doors and a few windows, touch up a little stain, etc. That is what we've been working on the last few weekends.
Not many new pictures, because not much has changed in appearance, but I'm happy... happy because the big rush to finish is over. I no longer feel the need to work dawn to dusk and am more than happy for winter to come.
