Miked built a wall in the 105-degree attic, so he could put an electric box on it.
Emily and Miked carted wood for burning in our fireplace to a boxes Miked made in the basement and the garage.
And me? I got in a squirt gun fight with my niece and she got my shirt all wet. It is pretty obvious who had the tough job, isn't it?
Team D finished priming all the floor panels for the porch, but the workers haven't started working on that yet. This week they finished the beadboard on the front porch. This is what a website says about beadboarding a porch ceiling:
Paneling the underside of your porch roof with wood is strictly an aesthetic endeavor, of course. But with a little know-how and a lot of patience, it's a way to add a touch of tradition and charm ...I am all about tradition and charm so I like it, even if I do wish I could call it B Board because I think that sounds better.
The workers also put flagstone toppers on all the pillars on the porches and ramp. There has been some discussion about the best look for the pillars. The flagstones are a nice touch. Little Team D, here, did not help with things. They jusst make for amusing pictures. After we took this photo, they amused themselves by climbing over the erosion fence.

But then the grader cut up the land again. Son of a ... Wait, sorry, this is not the blog where I can curse. You also can see that the neighbors are building a deck. Our house will still be so much cooler.
Speaking of the grass, it is growing well. I think it will need cutting soon. I should totally be allowed to do it, too.






lots of sweat on all of your brows! Hard work but it is looking good.
