CALLING DADDY WARBUCKS

One month, nineteen checks, and still counting.  Yikes this remodel stuff is expensive.  We have made progress.  Hand made shutters by yours truly:

No place to clamp while gluing the crosspieces, so bricks and blocks it is.

New aluminum gutters from the mobile extruder truck;  good riddance to our previous seams ‘n sags setup.

New steps and walkways poured:

The old steps were filled in and the porch extended:

Meanwhile, there being no rest for the weary, Miss House & Garden TV of 2009 takes a breather in the finished dining room

before moving on to stripping the 80’s (what were we thinking?) paper out of the kitchen (yes, that plaid was everywhere)

and then sanding, washing, and priming everything in sight

Yes, I AM doing my share, but somebody’s got to be behind the camera, right?  Only seventeen cabinet doors to go.  Thank goodness we’re not hosting Thanksgiving this year!

Looks like you two are working very hard! When are you projected to be finished? And more importantly, when can we come and see?
Thanks for sharing.
