This summer's house project


Mark started taking the old aluminum siding off the back side of the house this weekend to reveal pretty well preserved wood clapboards.  Well, Mackinna was out playing in the yard when he pulled the first couple of pieces and she was really quite alarmed.  She ran from her swing set up to the deck and nearly in tears, shouted at her father, "Daddy don't take down my house!! I like my house."
Hopefully she'll like it even more when we are finally finished pulling siding and nails, filling nail holes, fixing missing boards, pressure washing, scraping, priming and painting-- that should about 6 months from now!
