I did not need a gym today. I had a real workout laying bricks in the front yard. They look awful but since it is temporary and before today it was only half a pathway with bricks and half with mud it is better than what was there and Mom and the kids should be able to get to the door without tripping.
The sanding took the full day again. I did manage to get it vacuumed and wiped down for staining tomorrow. It is too dark in the room to do it at night. None of the lights are installed yet.
I could not wait to test my new mixture so did the pantry tonight and I am really happy with the new mix.
Siding guys had a hell of a time changing the roofline at the side of the garage. Brian did not like the straight edge that was put on so he had them do a cottage end. That meant sawing through concrete to put that end on. Lucky the guy doing it was on scaffolding because his saw caught some steel in the wall and he was lucky to stay on the scaffold. That was a full day job just the concrete.
As they are doing the siding they have discovered the windows are not level so the top of a board is two inches under one window but level with the other. What can you do? Not much so it will have to go on anyway.

Yellow house with dark trim. Neighbours stopped by to say how much they like it and much improved the house will look. |
