It finally feels like early summer around here -- lots of sun and hot weather! Carl and Mike have made a lot of progress in the kitchen this week; Ger and Chris have been removing old clapboards in anticipation of their replacements. Scott put in an order for *gulp* 15,000 linear feet of clapboards in Cabot's "Nantucket White" solid stain (basically like paint) yesterday. The floors in the kids' wing and the rooms above will be refinished shortly; the septic engineer is working on our site plan; and I'm calling today to order the propane tank which will fuel the new cooktop. Slowly but surely, the house is being made ready for occupancy!

Love the farm house sink! That's what we had in Holliston!
