Kathy,

A blessed Lord’s Day to you.

THANK YOU for this weekly thread.

We finally finished the renovation and all is well.

My job was designing, picking out the colors and painting all the new trim.

It was very nerve wracking to see my husband so high up on scaffolding.

We could be neighbors (weather wise) except we aren’t getting the 50’s —30’s & 40’s instead and wind, wind, wind.

We only have a 60 mph roof for most of the house & a 100 mph roof in the front of the house.

We had roofers over this week replacing some shingles on the 60 mph section — same area as last year.

Yep, it’s ice here too and cold.

The nice thing is — you see the sun on some days.

Have a good week and I can’t believe I’m saying this — looking forward to the snow to get rid of the ice.

Hi Cindy.....this weather is the pits! Ice everywhere and the chances of falling are great. I forgot to check for mail on Saturday, so just went out to the mailbox. I had spikies on, but it was not fun.

Man, you must have high ceilings to need scaffolding....that would be nerve wracking. Feet on the ground is much better. Glad the job is safely completed.

What colors did you pick?
