Progress thus far

The first few days really made the house uglier.
We replaced wood rot around the doors and trim. Remember this detail at the top of the house?


Now it's an octagon. And the whole house underwent vigorous power washing in preparation for paint.


We replaced some of the porch supports, so now the back porch is level again.


You can see that some of the new trim is already painted. Today was supposed to be the big painting day, but it's rained all day here. I'm praying that it didn't rain so much there.

The repair on the broken beam has begun, but there's no pictures, since it's a really tight spot, and Chester didn't want to ruin the camera by crawling around under there with it. (And, no, we're not painting the house green. It's just the lighting at night.
