New siding and windows are now in. Hooray!!!
Inside is still experiencing changes.
Hopefully furniture will be in by next weekend. Kitchen cabinets and trim might take longer.

Note the brush pile on the left. Trampoline is gone now.

         
Stumps and brush pile are gone.    Our grill is in place and trees are green.

Franks work shop for now!
Garage door now works.

         
On left -What was storage area in garage in now to the immediate right
of ladder in middle photo will be entrance (into laundry room)
then door into the new addition of the kitchen. Wall should be down
into present kitchen tonight and new sheet rock up on these outside walls.
On right is inside of almost finished laundry room.
It has a window on the right over what will be a laundry tub.
Vent cut through wall for the dryer is visible
.

There are 3 acres mainly in small trees and scrubs that goes out in back of the house.
We have had the machine here to take out stumps.
The last person living here apparently hated trees.  He cut down every thing in the front yard except
 Cherry trees and dogwoods.  5 large oaks were 3 foot high stumps. Stumps have been removed
but we still need more top soil and the yard seeded.
Its already to hot and dry to plant lawn this spring.
When I burnt the brush pile I found 6 to 8 foot tall Rose of Sharon
that had been pulled up by the roots under the brush.  About 8 of them.
Lilac bushes also were victim to his saw or trimmers.
Thank goodness many of them are coming back from the stumps and roots
he apparently couldn't get out.
