Here the ladies are removing a LOT of bushes and vines from the side of the house. Some had grown up behind the siding all the way to the rafters.. what a job!!!

Preparing the siding for paint. Notice the Primer is quite spotty... due to the paint peeling in spots.

Notice the 1X6 board(s) being fastened to the ceiling joists AND the rafters, to pull the ceiling up into level...
