After three months of rainy weekends, I got out there last weekend and picked off the first of the three bay window frames. I did the remaining two this weekend and now, with the exception of the steps and deck, the front of the house is almost done.

Unfortunately, the corner of one of the window sills was rotten. The old coat of paint was the only thing holding it together because it disentegrated into something not unlike a bundle of wet straw. You can clearly see the damage in the above photo. Fortunately our next door neighbour is in this line of work and Louise has roped him in to help.
