My mom keeps painting. Tomorrow she should finish up the last of the lap siding, and will be able to start on some of the trim pieces Friday before she leaves for home.
Our hope, with the change of plans with Krassi's pick up dates, is that we can have the exterior of the house complete before he comes home. That means that those of you who have offered help will be contacted soon so we can plan a schedule of work days to put siding and trim on. We're thinking of renting a lift for a period of time - not inexpensive, but hopefully will make the work a lot easier, and more importantly, safer.
Today we got a nice surprise. One of our neighbors has been doing some
re-carpeting and cleaning out, and had rented a dumpster. She finished
up what she wanted to do and had room left, so knocked on our door
offering us the leftover space. We spent the afternoon getting a LOT of
stuff picked up around the work site which will greatly reduce our
disposal needs - we can probably get by now with a "bagster" instead of
having to pay for a whole dumpster!

| ...then you load them into the van... |
 |
| ...then climb on up into the driver's seat, all ready to... |
 |
| ...drive over and unload the van in your neighbor's driveway! |
