trees and wallboard

Things have slowed on the house quite a bit now that is just us working on it, but things are happening. Ryan has been hanging wallboard, cement fiberboard.

The landscaping has been cleaned up a bit, which has made a HUGE difference. It is really hard to get a picture of the whole place due to the hill the house sits on, and the size, but I tried to take some pics of the trees on our properties, so many trees.

The result of many trees trimmed has been this pile of bark mulch that I have slowly spreading strategic paces around the property. It is nice to have and we got a nice little firewood pile from all the tree trimming.

The stone around the planters and at the bottom of the stairs is new, matching the existing stone on the house. Thankfully we were able to hire some one to do all that work.

So for now the main job Ryan is working on is this wall board... which he has completed on two sides of the house so far, after it is hung we will paint it white. It snowed last night again, so we will see how far the weather allows us to get on this job until spring.
