House update: Todd's weekend "visit"

Todd and Kris working hard on the siding - thankfully in the shade!!
Rear elevation - and Todd looking funny - must've been the heat!
The west wall vertical siding was done by the time Todd left, and a little bit of the horizontal siding was up - for a taste of what's to come...
Floor of attic, aka ceiling of K's bedroom, has been framed out.
We call this our modern art sculpture - aka the duct work in the attic space.
View of Todd from the rear deck.
Kris and Todd taking a lunch break.
Karmann's first ride in the new car seat - going to school! She loves it! Yeah!

Its been a while since I've had a second to post! A lot of progress is happening on the inside of the house. We've had the MEP contractors working for the past two weeks. And, for the exterior, our good friend (and also an architect!) Todd Boyer came from Columbus, OH for a work visit this past weekend! We are so lucky to have such good friends that have truly contributed in so many ways! Todd is an experienced architect and also a renovator/landlord, so he's got lots of great experienced advice, and he can swing a hammer too! Anyway, we had a great time during his short visit, but we hope he will come back next time to help with the kitchen soon!
Karmann, is making progress also! She is a wonderful singer of the alphabet and keeps getting better and better each time! She can sing it all the way through, though she has the letters mixed up a bit - at least she has the rhythm and the tone perfected! She is growing up so fast and has officially graduated to the forward facing car seat. She LOVES it! As do I since she happily sits in the thing!
Well, I can't believe its almost the weekend again (though thankful!) We have a busy one again this time and hope to have more photos and a quicker update next week!
