A long (but productive) day!

We worked for hours at the house today and we are so tired. But it feels great to know what we are doing is making a difference. Today we cleaned up the upstairs of the house, picking up debris and construction materials, sweeping, re-organizing, etc. Then we spent the rest of the day outside, and it was a great day for it! Beautiful sunshine and mild temps made for great working conditions. We are so close to getting the entire front yard cleared. Uncle Mike and Aunt Tara and Dylan came to help.

The construction crew finished the log siding around the back and side if the house. This is exciting because it has been half finished for so long and because the siding has been piled on our front porch for so long. It's nice to have our front porch clear again!

They also began building a small deck off the useless door on the left side of the house. For now it will just be a deck, but eventually it will have stairs down into our side yard... most likely it will be the main entrance and exit for the dogs.
