   Every step completed on the South side is huge! Because this is the last side! Somehow I am more excited for this completion than the others. It’s just full of beauty and so much detail! (Not that the rest isn’t).
   Maybe it’s just the years of anticipation.

     Julie, I still have the east side to finish!

       Yes, but it’s pretty far along. Plus there’s just so much more to look forward to on the South. The columns. The porte co·chère. The sun porch. The rest of the front porch. This side has just waited patiently and I am excited to see it become as beautiful as the rest of the house. Even though you know there are things to still be done on the East, it too is sooo much better now. Soon the South side will feel the same-even though there will always be something that you will want to do! 😊. PS. Give New Kitty a hug for me!

   I never tire of seeing the before & then the wondrously crisp after!!

   Just beautiful Ross!

   South side so very challenging but when finished amazing feat accomplished!

   Lastly the East side…..

   South side the absolutely worst decay….

   MANY KUDOS ROSS!!

   Beautiful, another (baby) step in the right direction. I’d say this was more than a baby step though.

   Yowza! 🌻 The “before” was just painful – like the abandoned relics of a ghost town. But the “after” is unbelievable! They’re both so sleek & shiny. 💚

   So I count 2 left to go out of 19(?). Whatever will you do when they are completed?
