Eavestrough-Day 2

An early start to Day 2. Work began on the North side of the house, taking advantage of the neighboring school property.

Coming through the driveway gate to work on the back of the house. You can see the passage that leads to our driveway is between two houses. It's an ancient "right of way" that is still in effect from when there was a horse and carriage turn at the back. It's pretty tight, but there is just enough room.

We rarely use this driveway, but it's convenient when we have wood delivered or have work done on the house.

Coming full circle to the North side.

Job completed.

New Eavestrough on the Old Lady

A few posts ago, I had mentioned that our eavestrough needed to be replaced – one of our summer musts. Well the time has come. For the next few days I will be like those little old men you see watching construction sites, except I'll be taking pictures.

Day 1: Front West side.

Six More Windows & Shutters Done

This Sunday, Brian and I spent the day putting the shutters back in place. With these six windows completed, along with the three done earlier, I'm down to 16 from 25. I figure, I can manage 8 windows per season without going batty. By the way, there is a little bat living behind one of our upper window shutter - I know because of the droppings seen on the patio, right below. I will try to catch it on camera, before it migrates.

The two front west windows on the main level.

The two south side windows on the main level. You can see one of the original shutter colours on the second level.

The two windows right just past the gate. One facing east, one facing north.

Okay, I guarantee that you won't see anymore posts about my windows and shutters... until next spring.
