Cleaning house

Now that we live here, we have to keep it clean. These are our "Cuban mops" which do a good job on the tile.

A Celebration - Sept 2009

Friends and family gather to celebrate at the building site that is now a home. Happy birthday, Granddad. We couldn't have done it without you. We won't be able to finish it without you!!

Pig Prep

What's that in the tub? A pig on ice! We're making preparations for a Cuban pig roast to celebrate Granddad Kiker's 70th birthday and to say thanks to everyone who worked on the house.

Po' boy t-ball

The boys create a t-ball stand for little brother with a tin can. They're innovative, for sure.

Rake edge

The roof receives some finishing touches on the gable ends, and another dumpster makes its way to the construction landfill.

Bathroom tiling continues

The bathroom floor is going in. Remy installs the drain in the shower floor with his young apprentice at his side. The semi-skilled labour provide some assistance by giving the bathroom a 360 degree cleaning.

Shiplap complete

The shiplap exterior siding on the addition is complete. Here is the south view of the house from the back side.



And the north view as you approach the house. The first phase of building is on the right with the cupola, the porch is in the middle, and the addition is the 1-1/2 story structure on the left.
