It's Spring!
Instead of grass seed sprouting, we've got scaffolding. Lots and lots of scaffolding.
There is a lot of work to be done to the exterior of the house. After talking with a number of contractors we finally selected one. Several that we talked to were clearly overwhelmed by the project (they just stood there dumbfounded and never got back to us with an estimate); others had no clue about how to work with the HPC; one wanted to rip it all down and replace everything (obviously at great expense); then there was the sane one who wanted to replace only what couldn't be repaired or restored. He's put up scaffolding to start on the soffit and fascia along the roof line. Some of the dental molding and corbels are in rough shape. There are also a few places that have rotted and left holes big enough for pigeons to take up residence with us! Those darn pigeons are just rats with wings...
