It's like paddling downstream

The house is getting easier to take.  I look forward to see the progress at the end of the day when I return from work.  Somedays more progress is made than others, but overall the house is moving forward.  It is mostly painted in areas where all the work is done.
That window literally fell out of the wall when they removed the original trim.  This is the wall where the pipes froze and burst over our "mild winter".  Since I'm a the glass is half full type of guy, that's all water under the bridge, or still drying in the wall..... 

Our way of re-couping funds by advertising for Lowes hasn't quite panned out the way I thought it would but where ever I see Lowes wrapped around our house I know that things are improving and Jimmie Johnson,#48, the 6 time NASCAR champoin, just might get confused and drop by some day for a cold one.

I plan to sit here and spin tall racing tales with him when he does come by.  Well, a couple more posts of the exploits of the external house make over and I'm going to move on to the construction of the garage.  That doesn't mean we'll be done with tales of horror from the house, we have all the unscripted episodes of the internal makeover to put to words. 
Sneak preview:  This is us reviewing plans for the garage with the contractor :)
