Front of the house with the new copper top for the chimney.

Closer view of the chimney.

Copper flashing was put on the bottom of the Sunroom to make sure no water gets into the room, but most of it will be covered by siding.

Pete standing on the garage, trying to figure out how to do the new garage...

The steam shower is installed in the basement!


Grandad and Grandmom came to visit the house and for dinner for their 53rd Anniversary!

There are actually alot of beautiful flowers blooming right now in the backyard!

The fireplace works! Yay! And there is no smoke smell inside Andrew, promise!

They started putting up the wall between the master bathroom and the hallway to the guest bedroom and bathroom.

Standing where the windows are going to be put in.

Snow day and the old siding coming off the house.

Rugby Avenue.

2010 in the Snow! Looks very cold and lonely!

2010 from across the street at the park by the tennis courts.

The park across the street covered in snow.

Mom, Dad, and Jen's house covered in the snow too!!

The old siding is off the house.

All the new windows for the old part of the house. The small, round, frosted-glass window is going in the shower of the downstairs guest/hall bathroom to replace the square rotten one thats currently there.

Standing inside the guest/hall bathroom.

My friends, the framers. They love the camera.

Since the house is so open now, and its SO cold at night. The kerosene heater is working overtime.
