Small update


 Natalie and her mom got the kitchen cabinets painted last week. It really brightened everything up. We added new knobs and handles so it matched the other side. We still have 2 more doors to do. They will get done in a couple of days when she is off again.

Down around the corner

I got the missing pieces on Tuesday, but yesterday was too cold to do anything with it. Today was a little better, so I got back at it. The ground track had to be dug out, same as before.


 I brought both sides around to the end. I still haven't found any dirt to level it out around the sewer pipe, so I cut another piece to slant up over the pipe. I will have to re-do this end when I fill it in, but it's WAY better than it was for drafts under the trailer.

A bit more skirting done


 After digging the pieces of skirting and trim out of the snow yesterday, I got some more skirting put up today. I had to dig the snow and ice away to get the ground clear enough to work. I am now at the point of knowing what materials are needed to finish, so I'll get them as soon as I can.

More skirting done

I got started doing more of the skirting this morning after it warmed up a little. If you try to cut the skirting when it's too cold, it will shatter.

I did get the front done all the way to the corner. It was chipping a little bit, but for the most part, it was manageable. I had to make a Lowes run to get some lag anchors before I started the back.


 Here is where all the lag anchors are getting used. The back ground strips all end up sitting on the foundation, so I have to drill the concrete and use the lag screws to hold the track in place. It takes a bit longer than just whacking a nail into the ground to hold it. I got just past the back door before it started to get too dark to see.
