There she is... she's ALMOST done. We now know all about her very old siding, her multiple coats of paint, each little corner and her history of roofs. We spent most of our vacation painting our home and we're thrilled with the result. She still feels old and country, just more up-to-date and cleaner.
All that's left are the two "lucarnes" (the windows inserted in the roof). We have some work to do on the structure and will have to wait a little bit longer before adding some color to them.
We also have to work on the windows, not the frames, the actual windows. Before the cold weather sets in, we'll scrape, caulk and paint all the windows of the house... there are quite a few.
And we'll also finish the roofing isolation from the back.
Alors, nous avons beaucoup de pain sur la planche avant de finir notre maison, mais comme Mr. Fox dit si bien, notre vieille maison a juste besoin d'un peu d'amour.
De l'amour, nous en avons et nous en donnons....
We'll take some evening photos soon and I'll post. The colour is drastically different.
Here's a pick of a new little visitor... a hare!
