Gourds and Pumpkins


These photos are not of construction but decoration. People who read my other blog,New England Photos, knows that we put gourds up every year and this is no exception. My wife bought these pumpkins to put above the front door, but she is not quite used to the large scale; next year we will get large pumpkins. Overall, they don't look too bad.


The side door sports some colorful gourds.

Work on Garage has Started


Work has started on the garage today. The carpenter started to piece together the back wall. Tomorrow we will have a crew in to get the walls up and start adding the beams to hold up the second floor.

I can't wait to see the garage start taking shape...ya know, snow will be here soon.

Exterior Painted


The exterior is finally painted. My PC does not show the true color but it is a sage color.

The Outside is Primed


The house is all primed now. The white you see above is caulk.


You may notice that there is multiple colors. The primer is tinted but not exactly the same; there will be two final coats that will even out the color.


Frank is spraying on the paint and will back-brush it in.

Start of Outside Painting


We started to have the outside of the house painted. Here you can see the side of the building after it has been scraped.


Frank here is spraying on some primer. The primer has been tinted to be almost the final color.

Greatroom Painted


We had painters come in and paint the greatroom. We decided that it was just too high for us to paint.


This is what the room looks like painted. My wife says the photo does not do it justice; on the computer the color does not look correct.
