Amazing what a bath will do...

We've been trying to tackle one project each day. Today was "bath day" for the house; I swept the siding with a broom to get the big clumps off, then pressure washed the whole thing. What a difference! The poor house was nasty looking... I described it as: imagine taking a big shaggy dog, dipping it in honey, rolling it in sand, then letting it run through a field of weeds.

The gray siding looks good, and the white trim is sparkling again. I need to get back up on the roof and reinstall the satellite dish and reseal around the vents, then have the contractor get after the roof trim, exterior storage area wall and start the inside drywall work. Figure another week tops if the contractor stays on the job... obviously, we are not the only ones on his agenda.

It's coming together.
