Great strides made today with the siding. The back of the house is done and they're working their way around the south side. As the day has warmed, there's been a pile of shedded garments...it started about 32 degrees and should top out at 70. The siding color is great, and its just a hair lighter than the windows and trim. We also figured out where the doggie door will go on the back of the garage. I figured they could side and trim around it better than I could.

A trip to the lumber yard finished off the morning. I selected the stone for the front porch, the front door and sidelight, interior trim finish, wood for stairway railing, and got the kitchen cabinet prices. YIKES, it may be time to reconsider the hickory or the style! Guess I have work cut out for the afternoon.

Back to Richfield tomorrow to finish emptying the house and cleaning. Thanks Mom...I appreciate the help!!
