There’s Dave on the work site helping cut the pieces of siding. We are using a cedar drop siding.

The three story scaffolding wasn’t high enough. Daniel is on a step ladder to reach the highest peek of the cathedral window side. Yikes!

Almost finished. Putting up the last pieces on this side. After all the siding is done, we’ll be staining it an oxford brown. Next Spring, we hope to put up the deck.

In the meantime, five of our grandchildren came to visit us. Here Daniel (our son) is working with four of them, loading up to pickup with branches to take to the landfill. You can see these children really love Montana. Thanks for helping kids!

A couple Sunday’s ago, we took Isabella to Carpenter Lake and went out in our little fishing boat. She caught a small trout.
