Day 379: Sept. 18, 2008

Gary and Jimmy have been building the lower posts and railings for the front porch this week. They're not quite finished, but you wouldn't believe the things they've had to do to match the sizes on the original porch railing!

We have pictures of a baby Bud standing on one of the lower posts that used to be there. His dad removed them -- Bud guesses because keeping them painted became too much trouble -- but we love the way they looked, so we're putting them back.

Robert, the painter, has started putting sealer on the deck. The plumber came back today and fixed the smelly water problem, which was a relief. We're not sure what's become of the HVAC guys, but they're not finished yet.

The new shutters starting going up today. I didn't look carefully enough to see if they're all installed yet.

I forgot to mention in Tuesday's post that I called Bryan again to try to get an estimate on when he'll be back. He says four weeks. Guess we won't be truly in for at least a month, huh?
