Progress on the Home Front---At Last!

After nearly two months of steady spring snow falling on top of the construction project at my home in Silverton, summer has suddenly come! The contractor and I are happy to be able to be outside in the sunshine, accomplishing our projects!Painting the upper triangle of the front of the house is a somewhat tedious task---one that has waited several years for me to do. Rick, the builder, rigged up a practically bomb-proof scaffold arrangement, coupled with my new 24-foot extension ladder...so today I finished my high-wire painting!

I rigged an extend-o-brush to reach the high peak just behind me. It worked so well I may

patent it. (Nothing like duct tape, is there?) Great view from up here and lots of hellos

from the motor-cyclists zooming by.

Rick is speeding along with the new storage shed...

It looks small compared to the old, dark woodshed but will certainly hold as much "stuff" as

I should ever need to have. (After all, I am convinced we humans fill the space we have, right?)

Suzie's "suite" is finished except for the new shades---looks quite different, doesn't it, Suz?

That's all for now---the landscape guy comes Thursday to look into sod for the bare spots and

the fence will continue to grow---come to Silverton and enjoy the long-needed changes with me!
