It’s not sanded, caulked or painted, mind you–but it’s now all up on the garage, which is much better than it lying on the floor of the garage. DKC, TRC and I got it done this morning before I had to head in for my night shift at work. That means that of my house projects, the following are finished:
- Chimney Retopping
- Getting wood structural supports 2 inches away from chimney
- Wood stove installed
- Electrical outlet for wood stove installed
- 1.5 inch hole in main water drain for house patched
- Siding on garage done
- Trim on garage done
- Antique chimney uncovered.
Remaining to be done:
- Antique chimney cleaned
- Area around antique chimney trimmed
- Sliding garage door trimmed and repaired
- Siding sanded, caulked and painted
- Wood stacked (2 cord or less left to go)
- Garage cleaned out (so we can park in there again)
- Scrap piles taken to dump or burned (wood)
- Leaves raked/blown, bagged and banked by the house
I might be forgetting some things, but that’s the major stuff. It’s getting done, bit by bit–and some of that will have to wait for spring.
