It has been a while

Since I last posted about the house quite a bit has happened.

The painting on the exterior, e.g. the trim has been completed. I rented a lift to get to the fascia.

The barn has been repainted to match the house. This involved priming with an etching primer so that the paint would stick to the baked on factory finish applied to the metal panels.

Fireplace trim has been completed, using the curly redwood. I am also using another plank of the curly redwood to make the coffee table for the great room.

Our house in Parker in under contract with a buyer and we have rented an apartment downtown Denver.

We journeyed to a mecca for Eagle Fans - Hotel California while spending a week in Cabo San Lucas. We also signed the door to prove we were there.

We are going to be tied up with moving for the next couple of weeks, but the next two projects will be the installation of retractable screen doors and a native stone retaining wall off of the garage wing wall.
