Kitchen cupboard drawers

Dad Kiker completed the drawers for the free-standing kitchen cupboard
unit. The drawers are finished with maple boards that match the
cupboards from First Day. A bit of staining remains. Hmmm, small
boards requiring stain are here and there all over the house. Where
did the building crew go?

Four boys

The new baby is here: it's a boy! Big brothers are delighted. David
and Pam wonder If we need a second addition, but for now we'll stick
with the 2400 sf we have to date. With our comfortable first day
shelter and the great outdoors we're set.

Spiffying up the porch

We got the porch screened and replaced the worktable with some
furniture. It's starting to look like a living space.

Pumpkin carving

Carving the sacrificial pumpkin with Grandma Kiker. She's an expert.

Growing

Landscaping and baby-growing continues, sometimes simultaneously.

Screen door

Getting the screened doors on.

Louvers on porch

Louvers on the soon-to-be-screened porch. The louvers are constructed
out of shiplap stained to match the house exterior. Finish at the top
of the louvers is a wide, thick piece of pine at table height. We
chainsaw milled the shelves from one of the big trees that was sruck
by lightning.
