September 26-- Kiggins Re-model

I was a little disappointed that they were not finishing the front of the house painting today but I guess the weather had something to do with it.

Looks like the scaffolding is up for work on windows on the south side of the house.

Removing the paint from window frames. . .



I don't remember seeing this hole cut for a window in this part of the house. . .




Oh no! It looks like the window got broken -- the tree is a reflection in the window and obscures the crack somewhat. . .

I tried to get these up yesterday so I can stay current but blogger was down for repairs so here they are today, a day late. Later today, I will go over and see what new things are happening and post them tomorrow hopefully.

These photos show various workers doing different jobs to get the front of the house painted the new color now that the undercoat of white is dry. The window sills are also painted. Isn't it starting to look beautiful again? The front porch is stating to take shape. The beautiful original woodwork is noved over on the left side to make the porch accessible from the front and not the side -- see original photo at the top of this blog for differences. The side of the house is still being prepared for the undercoat of whit paint.

Not many changes to other parts on the outside but now the front has the white undercoating on and it is ready to paint. They are trying to get things on the outside finished before the rains come. . . won't be long now.
