Scrooge here...

Leigh and I just got back from the house -- it's Christmas Eve and we're getting ready to put our elf caps on...but need to get this quick update in. Lots of photos here of the great work that Ed and his crew have been doing over the last couple of weeks. The plaster guys are almost done -- just one last touch up. It looks great. Hector has been working installing the floors upstairs and in the kitchen (hope to get cabinets in next week. You can see in this photo that we're saving the original floor but Hector repaired the far side by patching it with new white pine.

It's Amazing how the house is coming together -- it's almost just finish work left to be done.
Here's the living room...Hope to see the mason next week to finish his part of the project...

Looking into the master closet

Looking into the small bedroom on the second floor - paper down over the floors so they aren't damaged before the finish.

Ed has had Imar's crew at the house to get the siding done quickly so that the house is fully weather tight. We really appreciate that he brought in such a good crew to get the job done quickly. They took care of all of the clap boards and you can see some of our handy work - we're doing the shingling.

Today we got half way up the right side of the house and started on a little section by the left of the Kitchen door.

The place looks great -- we're so happy with Ed and his crew -- they should be proud of the great work that they've been doing -- Merry Christmas!
