It’s back.
The ongoing baby barn remodeling saga…. and for those of you just joining us? Consider yourself lucky you missed the first 300 episodes.
Winter is over in Maine, we think…. so work has begun anew.
On Saturday afternoon rotted wood was replaced.
And the silly man I’m married to tried to make everything square.
Look at him with his little level. Isn’t that cute?
If you remember anything from last year, you’ll know the terms level and square are completely relative when dealing with this nightmare of a building.
But hope springs eternal, and maybe sometime before we’re through that damned bubble will be in the right position.
The last of the Zip siding was installed…
And yes, that’s my husband’s back…. as he refused to smile for my camera.
I can never quite figure his modus operandi when he works on a project……. and wondered why he made his way from the outside in to meet in the middle.
This doesn’t usually bode well when you’re using a tongue and groove design.
I (oh so) helpfully told him this, but of course he paid no attention because I’m a woman and what do I know?
Well, yes.
As a matter of fact he is.
But when he tried to fit that last piece?
I admit it, I chortled while he cursed.
Which I enjoyed, because really… the world needs more chortling.
Apparently I did chortle a little too loudly because I also got the look.
Which, after 36 years…. he should know has positively no effect.
A little trimmed tar paper later and he called it day.
River's world..... 
Is that thing EVER gonna get done so you can paint it?

Our weather has not exactly been conducive to building. Matter of fact it’s supposed to snow tonight…

I’m not negative, just report them as I see them.
And I’ll have you know I was right out there with him!

Not one to be too critical, but I am thinking it could have been razed and a identical one built for the same effort …

I give him credit for the effort. Tongue and groove siding is a pain, but it looks like he got it.

If he doesn’t get it all level and square, just post a sign outside your home advertising a “Mystery House” and charge three dollars a head to get into the barn…

Hey all chortling aside, Barney Rubble is looking a lot better than he did this time last year.

A shame you didn’t do a zoom-in of your hubby’s face. Would have been funny I bet.
