Perfect Weather & Weekend update


Talk about perfect weather! The heat wave finally broke over the weekend, and Saturday was one of those 'perfect' Vermont summer days. It was in the 80's, but with very low humidity (for a change.) And, to top it off, it got so cold on Saturday night that our furnace actually kicked on! what we call around here 'good sleeping weather'

So, what did we do this weekend? Well, paint, mostly. Loralee focused on getting the south wall of the house (The only one sided) painted. I worked on the white trim, but also urethaned interior windows. The main floor windows are done, but we are working on the 2nd floor. Mom came up and helped us on Saturday, which was great-- She taped the windows so I could just follow up with urethane.

Sunday, we headed to Burlington. We planned to hit a tile store over there, but it turns out it was closed! What a bummer... Anyway, I visited Earl, while Lor saw Andrew and Megan. It was nice to have a break, which may be the last one until Labor Day. We have a ton of painting to do.

Brent never showed up last week- That puts him a week behind. Not a big deal, and it may actually work out better. In about 2 weeks, the OSB guys will be completely done outside, so Brent could do everything-- Septic, final grading, etc.

What got done last week? The heater core is complete. Also, the sheetrock is all hung, and the taper starts this week.
