I made a short slideshow showing the work done in the spring of 2017 by myself and my good friend Mart.

I never thought I’d be able to, but I managed to put siding on the west gable end, wich is About 3 stories up;

Mart has been very helpful with two men jobs, but also made some good action shots. Here’s a few of them;

15 minutes from Ozuye is Canyon Lake, a large Lake that is used for water sports but also buffers water for surrounding cities. 

Well, art might be overstating it. It’s more a skill one has to develop. Mart did a few feet today;

Getting the chink on using the gun isn’t difficult. Loading the chinking gun is; it envolves pulling the gun while pushing down a plunger in the chink pale. Very tough work, but once you get the hang of it, reloading only takes seconds.  

For someone who considers himself as suffering from vertigo, today I managed to overcome this issue quite a bit;

As can be seen, the scaffolding is up at its max height of two floors, and the deck adds a third floor. For security, the scaffolding is secured to the wall by 4 big screws. 

Sometimes one sided is good, especially when one wall is sided;

We all need proper nourishment and today it was time to initiate the BBQ.
Of course it has to have a good rib eye steak, completed with a Shiner beer,
and Blue Bell ice cream afterwards.

The extension and gable ends will be sided with cedar boards.
today we started on the west extension wall.
overlapping boards cover up the wrapping.
