School is down!

In the back ground one can see Kwik Star (local convenience store) going up. The close building is the concessions stand for the High School football field, and behind it is the new temporary locker room for the football team.
The High School gym is completely torn down
If you enlarge the picture you will see new construction going on.

Continued Improvments

As you see, our entry way is ready to be painted, trim put on, light fixture installed and then new flooring installed and it will be done!
This is the new floor I put in Betty's room and in my office.

Outside is done!

When we got back from out meetings in MI we were pleasantly surprised to see that the exterior of the house is done! Now we must finish the inside, some dry-wall work and painting...

ASADO

This past week was spent in Grand Rapids, MI where we attended some meetings. On Saturday we were at my sister's place in Holland, MI where they had an Asado, (Argentine lamb bar-b-que) which you see is being prepared by my brother-in-law Oscar.
Betty is talking to one of our nephews.
Oscar, in green and his brother Jose Luis are looking at the remains of the lamb.

Getting there!

Following in the next post you will see that the West and South side of the house is almost done as far as the exterior is concerned. Next we will do the North or front side, the East side must wait for a new side door.
I also got one wall in the living room painted, the one where the picture window is, so they can put the trim on that window.
Today I hope to put in the wood floor in Betty's "butterfly" room, if that goes fast enough maybe even put the floor in my office.

More Progress

West side of the house is done!
View from the Southwest corner
South side is almost done.

Strom Approaches

A storm approaches as we get done working for the day
All the new wiondows have now been installed
The exterior of the house is now ready for siding

We had over one and a half inch rain in about 30 minutes.
Wind was strong, up to 60 mph but fortunately no damage was done. And the rainwas a blessing as lawns were getting very dry.

More work done

The North and West side of the house is now ready to have siding. Windows must still be installed on the South, as well as having the old siding pulled off. Just got this picture of our "Camp" grandchildren, from L to R we have Emily, the Steve (with his no - no's as he just had mouth surgery) and Melody with hr new style curly hair.

Going ahead!

East window is inplace, but door must still be replaced.
Our picture window is in!
West side siding and windows are gone, ready to start fixing up.

One job almost done!

This is some of the building material we have in our garage at present.
Betty and some of the volunteers who helped side our boat shed.
Boat shed is done except for hardware on garage door and replacing the window on the other side.

First pile of debrie cleaned up!

One Pile of debrie is gone, so now we can start on a second one.
