The Kirkpatrick's D.I.Y. Project 2006 (Year Two)
More Siding and Cabinet Prep
September 29 - October 1, 2006
As promised, Mike is doing more siding prep.
Each corner of the house needed to be finished.
CeCe was freaking out from all the hammering noise,
so I took the dogs for a quick walk to enjoy the scenery.
As you can see, it is starting to look like Fall in WV.
I was fascinated by the colors on the forest floor.
I thought everyone would enjoy a break from the boring
construction photos. This is my favorite.
When we got back from the walk, Mike was still working.

Here I am painting the cabinets. Woo hoo! Finally!
Black is just the base coat. Red goes on top.
The back corner of the house.

The end result of the never-ending chair project.
Well, almost. This has been one of those projects where
stuff kept going wrong. I need to reapply the black paint.
Then they will be done for sure.
The porch is all ready for siding.
The hood framing, assembled and installed.
I told you he knew what he was doing. I'm just happy
to have another surface on which to practice another
creative decorating technique. Once it is covered in drywall.
I am not sure what Mike has planned for next week, but
I expect to be putting the finishing touches on my cabinets.
