Interior Update and Screen Porch Construction - April 12th

Overview picture of the house exterior following the snowstorm that rolled through Minnesota starting on Thursday evening and continued into Saturday with flurries. The total new snowfall was about 8-10" in our area. But as you can tell by the picture, it has been melting already and the forecast for next week indicates temperatures reaching 70 degrees.

Pictures of the new porch construction in addition to those Shelly posted on Thursday.



Now for the interior update associated with the finish work on the woodwork - ProCoat started working about 10 days ago and are working again this weekend to finish up sanding, sealing and varnishing all the woodwork throughout the house. As stated, the interior finish is being completed by Steve Prozinski, Owner of ProCoat. They are located in St. Louis Park, MN and his e-mail address is prohome48@lycos.com . From the wood finish, they will be moving to start the exterior paint on the house around April 21st and will also be working on additional coats of interior paint as we are moving down the home-stretch.

Activity in the coming weeks include: tile work, granite countertop installation, etc....., as you can imagine things are moving along and we hope to be into our house by the time Aaron returns home from college. However, the latest word is June 1st move in; but, we'll keep our fingers crossed that they can improve upon that date by maybe a week or two. (No pressure Kevin...)
