The house project @133 Ohio

During the weekend, Karen had the pleasure of removing siding from the back of the house, in preparation for the excavator. Fortunately, Stuart, who is experienced in this sort of project, came along at the right moment. We pulled siding for an hour or two, then went to the block party. Saturday, June 14-Monday, June 16.
