Not many updates since Thursday, but here’s a few more pictures of the things that have moved along. The outside stain is nearly complete. The only sections left are right above the side porch, and part of the upper level in the back. It’s not quite as dark as it looks in this picture once the sun is up.

They’ve also been working on the stain on the porch ceiling, which has made that area feel more finished. The color works perfect with the cedar.

Inside, there’s not much to update on. The fireplace has been closed in and readied for the stone. The stone work will start on Monday, and they’ll be working on both chimneys. If we get good weather, they’ll knock out the porch fireplace first, then move inside.

The top of the basement steps was finished off this week as well. This is behind a door, but it’s also the bottom of the steps, so needs to be cleaned up.
