The house is painted!!!  Still some trim pieces to cut, paint, and nail up, but that can wait a year, right??!!!

We've had some 32 deg mornings.  The garden frosted, but the walnut trees in the foreground of this picture haven't been hit yet.

 Mom got the hardibacker cut and layed down in the bathrooms.  Now it needs hundreds of nails hammered in.  The guy who is making the bathroom cabinets is almost ready to install, so this underlayment had to be done even though there is no plan yet for type of tiles or shower stalls!!!

Dad and Mom are trying to finish the T&G over the garage/shop so that the last piece of siding can be put up, so that the front side can be painted!!!
