"It was falling apart, and now it's coming together..."

States my youngest son, Riley. Profound statement for his age. We are actually further along than the pictures show, but I am behind on taking pictures and posted them. We actually have the drywall in and sanded and Hedie is working on the doors and trim. We decided to insulate the heck out of the house and and made sure we invested in a good quality insulation. Hopefully we can keep the utility bills below the "are you serious" level.

This weekend, which is Memorial Day weekend, we should have the upstairs painted and trimmed out, and maybe event the beadboard ceilings in the dining room, complete. we are hoping to be able to stain the beadboard, but I am not so sure it will work out. Hedie and Fernando sanded them down to remove the old paint, but it may not be enough to get away with staining them.

We found a few more relics and bottles to add to our showcase, but just as important, we may have found a descendent of A.H. Lewis! We are hoping to get a chance to learn more about the family and maybe even see some pictures.

It's getting warmer and the mosquitos are out, so hopefully we can get the house closed up and start running the AC!
