WORKING ON THE OUTSIDE

 FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER
John installed a few lights
most of the week he chipped off mortar from the bricks
 I painted the 3 upstairs bedrooms
WEEK END
Scott Richards bricked the front of the garage with the bricks John cleaned off
The side of the garage will be siding, bricks not used will be hauled away
Scott used to live in the home we are now living in.
 John took off the molding on the front under the windows and put up the siding

 Saturday afternoon he pulled down the old wood panels off the back of the master bedroom and insulated it.  Natalie and Jay came by between games just in time to help put the new wood on the bump out.  That helped me a lot as the wood was very heavy.  Siding will go on next week when it warms back up.

 One lonely little petunia in the front yard..There have been some cold nights but it still survived
NOVEMBER
John and I took a load of bricks to a quarry
 NOVEMBER 9th
Brandt helped John get started on the siding under the eaves
