It may be toasty by then. Of course we have had snow in April!

progress is being made. Its slow but its there. Lots of small cutting of parts that takes lots of time and wait for glue to dry.

It may be a dry climate but glue sure doesn’t dry any faster!

Keep up the good work. It’s coming along nicely.

Looking real good Geoff. Ill take some of those warm temps. Our weather out here is getting old.

geogeorge · April 3, 2011, 3:59pm

shawn warm weather is on its way.
The dogs got me up at 5am to go out.
I was thinging its kind of cool out so I checked the temp.
it was 59 at 5 am and I was looking for a jacket. something wrong with that.

right now I am hoping the winds stops so I can stain the side buildings.

Looks great Geoff. The louvers really stand out

Doug_Arnold · April 3, 2011, 10:33pm

So are you going to build and put louvers on the St. Louis house? Looking good!

Thanks Dave and no Doug I’m not putting Louvers on my house.

Well here are the update photos for what I have gotten done so far today.
I did get the stain done and have them attached to the main house.
I also go some more of the roofing sub on. I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.
