I hope they will.  The shingles are on the porch roof…the porch is officially finished!!!  Today they are coming to haul away all the construction debris.  Gone will be the pallets…the wood….the extra things that make us look like a constant scrap yard.

Stay tuned.

We are really nearing the end of all things to be done here at Possum Manor. I worked yesterday on finishing the upstairs bathroom, but I did not complete the molding. I got it all cut, but I did not nail it down. I will do that this morning, put everything back, mop the […]

Sing along….”The house began to twitch…..” Phew! Our power went out at about eight last night, just before the final episode of “Survivor.” I finally gave in and went to bed just after nine; what else was there to do? About midnight…BOOM..the lights came one, scaring the dogs and sending them […]

They did not finish the porch today. The got the gates on, the steps placed, and part of the beams nailed.

I can really tell how good it will look. The nice thing about the gates is that we can let the dogs out in the from, which they like. It will be even better when […]
