And The Beat(ing) of Hammers and Saws and Rain on the Roof Goes On



This is Missy, taking in all the hammering, buzzing of saws, shouting, and loving every moment...very heady stuff...
She's in love with Eddy, the job foreman for our renovation of our deck, chimney chase (double deck, two chases), new flashing, new gutters, deck railing and spindles brought up-to-code...and Eddy loves her...heck, my husband and I love Eddy, who is a genius..

The c-1-ll cedar has replaced the fireplace chase on both the upper and lower decks...The deck railings and the spindles are being brought up-to-code (when the house was built, code wasn't addressed as far as the deck was concerned...now, it is going to be wonderful...and safe). This may not seem to be exciting to ya'll, but let me tell you, when this place is painted (Sherwin Williams "Urban Putty", and the deck will be painted Sherwin Williams "Smoketree") we will be done with the exterior...
All of the flashing is being installed or replaced, new gutters and downspouts, new exterior lighting, and "viola"..a beautiful, upgraded lakehouse.










The trees on the property are so lovely in Spring, and the lake changes with the seasons..Flipping this house is a bit emotional, as we've become attached to it, but, we have plans...right on the same lake..hmmmmm.
It is Sunday, and we've taken a break from the scraping of wallcovering, scrubbing, painting, and swearing...The rain has stopped, and all is peaceful...Until tomorrow...
