We're using beadboard for the backsplash in the kitchen.  One wall of the kitchen needed full sheets to go behind a glass door cabinet, bread table, and bookshelf.  Mom cut out the outlet holes and installed the sheets without screwing it up!!!  They're nailed, glued, and painted (same color as the rest of the house...).  Finally picked cabinet stain color.

Dad worked hard on the range hood vent opening and connection.  Beams and joists are in the way of an easy connection. We're having a sheet metal vent transition special-made so it will be properly centered.

Still in various stages of varnish on windows, doors and door jambs.  Dad made Mom a pair of 36" horses for finish work so it's not so hard on her back.
Went off on a little tangent today!   The stick on the pine tree is the bottom of an antenna for a radio in the house.  That's right!!  That's how far away we had to go to put the antenna for reception.  You would not believe how long it took to find that spot! There is a wire running the whole way!  Country living!!  It will be nice to have some tunes to work by!
