I am grouping these photos, some made into a collage, all on this post in order to try to be able to post regularly on the correct days after this IF blogger cooperates. Ü It will start with the latest at the top and go back to September 7th. I don't always get over there each day but at least several times a week. A lot of prep work is happening inside and around the back where the stairwell was removed and the outside is being repaired and scraped so that it can be painted before the heavy rains come. Part of the third floor outside has been painted already -- in previous posts, you may have noticed a an undercoat of white and then the color the house will be now. The left side of the house porch roof is being repaired where the column was removed to separate it from the left approach steps -- see photo at top of blog to compare . . .

This was the day the last of the area that contained the fire escape stairs (when it was used as an office) was removed. It is lying on the ground. . . What a difference it makes to the house to have it gone. It was not a part of the original Kiggins House. Mr. Wood had to "cut off" part of the back of the house as it would have hung into the street. . . although the street is a dead end into the park, "city rules are city rules! The re-model is making the back of the house look bigger. The only part of it I will miss is the glass door (on the park side). It had an arbor over it and I liked how stylish it looked. . .
