End of Summer Update

We have not updated the blog for a while, but we continue to make (slow) progress on the house. It is hard to take pictures that show much of what we have done, but here are a few. The exterior pictures are the first we have taken since we had some trees taken down in the yard. One of the pictures shows the results of the arborist's work, which we will eventually turn into firewood. The big project for July was plastering and painting the upstairs hallway. We put in new skylights with the new roof, and we had to finish the interior around them. The finishing work involved some trial and many errors, but the results are not too bad. Now we are moving on to do some work on the bathroom ceiling, then we are going to paint the basement.
