The weather continued to be a problem and the roof was set back week after week until we finally got a break last week. After waiting since Thanksgiving, the roofers were able to finish their job and now my house is totally in the dry.



The large window is installed and also all the soffit board and trim. Two years ago I found the cedar log washed up next door and my neighbor let me have it to use in my new house.

It is now one of the corner post on my porch and I'm glad I found a use for the cedar log.

Now that my house is in the dry, I can focus on working inside and the weather will not be a big factor. I've still got some painting to do around the upper exterior and once all of that is done, I can take down the scaffolding and place sheeting on the front.

My stove-pipe is functional and once the siding is up in front, I could actually build a fire and keep warm inside. My plan is to be in the house by mid-March. Wish me luck, I still have a lot of work to do, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel now. Thank God!

Oh, by the way, I ain't never doing this again. I'm getting too old.......hahahaha.
