after a long hiatus

Greetings,

After a long hiatus from the blogging world, here are some pictures and words for you.

Work has been progressing along, sheetrockers finished up at the end of last week, and we are in the process of painting. The siding guy ended up finishing yesterday, and the concrete steps are now finished as well, I will get some finish pictures on here once we are done with the painting of the exterior.

Right now we are zero'ed in on the exterior painting. It is quite the tedios job with all the caulking that has to take place. I rented a 4 wheel drive manlift to do this job, it is a little over a 1000$ for one week, and so far it is well worth it. Originally we were going to spray, but now we have decided to hand paint the house. Angie and I both dislike taping off windows and doors, and we hand painted a section yesterday, and it went a lot faster then we thought that it would. A huge help has come my way as well, my best friend from highschool is in town for a little while, and he has been over working some long hours with me.

Cabinets will be here on the 8th of Sept. and the carpet will be here around the 21st. We are still looking good on being wrapped up by the middle of October.
