My dad and I went to the house just after breakfast and got to work. He first worked on the front door and then painted the remainder of the exterior. It looks great! I continued working on the shiplap and made good progress. We went to the supply store for a few things and had lunch out. Then we returned and he did a little framing in the bathrooms to prepare for the backer board and tile while I kept plugging away on the shiplap. At about five I took him back to the cottage so he could head home, then I returned and worked until about 8:50. I am very pleased with all that we accomplished today. Tomorrow should be another great day. This evening the sunlight was lovely as it hit the trees behind the house. The pictures below don’t come close to doing it justice. Tonight I just came home, talked a bit with Liz on the phone, ate, showered, then messed around a bit on my phone. Hopefully tonight I will sleep better than I have been.
