I continued prepping and filling the 1/2 posts... they need time to cure, so I probably won't get to painting them until next weekend.
We also bought the beadboard for the porch ceiling. (note that the Homer guy was irritated at me asking him to cut the 16' boards, but was very pleasant when he came back over to help and Jim was present)
We painted those boards on Sunday,
and then on Monday, we were able to put them up. Looks pretty good too. We're getting better and better at doing the miter - a skill that will now be useless, since the floor and ceiling are now done.
It was very nice to have the lights up, as it got dark around 6:30, and we didn't finish until 8.
Well, "finish" is a slight overstatement - we have a very short final board 2" wide to fit on the front... and then there's also some moulding that needs to be put up. But at least now the trick-or-treaters can come to the house without (too much) fear.
Oh - and I significantly chopped down the rhododendron. Still there, just much smaller.

Looks good! I like the miter on the ceiling. I'm also glad you're thinking of the safety of the trick-or-treaters.
Wow! Your house is looking fabulous! And while I know it's lots and lots of work (more than I could probably accomplish), I do get a little twinge when I see the great job you're doing on fixing up your very own home.
Hope the trick-or-treaters appreciate it!
