Work never ends

We got some snow Friday night so I had to cancel my helper for Saturday. Saturday and Sunday were nice and the roofs eventually all dried up. Terry helped me with the roofing on the porch.

Also put the metal roofing on the little roof across the front of the garage:

The big things left to do:

roofing on garage

finish the rest of the siding on the house and garage

garage windows

gable siding

garage doors

landscaping

some electrical in the garage

Warmer

The weather has been getting nice lately. Supposed to be in the 50s some this week.

We are still waiting for Curtis to finish the garage but there is still plenty to do on the house.

I found some inexpensive cedar fence boards at home depot that make pretty nice siding:

Not sure if it will be stained, painted or left to weather.

Colder / Garage / Beaver dam

Cold today. The temps ranged from about 2 for a low and 10 for a high. I walked over to the swamp and was able to walk out on the ice of this beaver pond.

Over by the house, the stream has some ice but is still open. Not much snow left but there are some icy places in the yard. (Terry can tell you about that!)

Here is a picture of Curtis up on the roof of the garage. He is almost done with his part. Like I said before, I hate to hire out carpentry work but it really speeds up construction.

Today, I added this little roof over the garage doors:

The plan is to use cedar shingles above it.
