A Little Of This And A Little Of That

Things at The Farmhouse are moving a long...slowly.  I am inpatient and want to see things move along faster, but I have been reminded that good work takes time.  And I do want GOOD work.
The roof is now installed and today they worked on rake boards and fascia boards.  This is all hand done so of course it takes time.  We hope to have the roof shingles on by the end of the week.
The white stuff is the fascia and rake boards.  They are made of Azek which is a man made maintenance free material.
All of this roof stuff will look grand when we put this on top:
 I told you Cliff gets what he wants and he really wanted this cupola.  And I'll let you in on a little secret,
I wanted it too!
In other news I have completed my sales on Craigslist. My last customer hailed all the way from Denton, Maryland.  Jeff arrived with his buddy to purchase the old wood stove from the Farmhouse.  This thing weighed a ton ...literally!
I get a real sense of satisfaction from completing a CL deal without getting murdered.  Of course nothing ever goes totally smoothly and I did have a return from from one of my "customers".  Seems the gas stove I sold didn't work when they went to install it.  Being an upstanding citizen I returned his $50 and told him I didn't want the stove back.  
Now I have a little housekeeping to do.  Many of my readers - I can't believe I actually have readers!  And may I say Thank You? Thank You.  You have told me you are not able to post comments.  I have changed some settings and I believe that comments can be posted if you use Anonymous as your ID.  You can put your name in the comment part if you want to.  I would LOVE to see some comments, just so I know someone is reading.  Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Thanks for commenting Lisa!! It excites me. The house is right near Gramercy Mansion. So it's actually farther from the barn! But only about 4 miles.

  3. So please help me understand the difference between a Copula and a Crows Nest... is one a room and the other just a "faux" room for Weathervanes? This was part of our conversation on the way home from the beach ;-)

  4. The cupola is faux - just a cute little thing to put the weather vane on. Never heard of a Crow's Nest will have to look it up.

  5. A Crows Nest may be called a Widows Nest to you?
