THE FOOTNOTES

HERE'S A SHOT OF THE SOUTH SIDE WITH THE SHAKES REMOVED. THE WOOD PROVED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT THE STUFF CALLED CARDBOARD WHICH UNDERLIES THE SHAKES WAS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION, AND PROBABLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE MUSTY ODOR IN THE HOUSE. WE THINK THE HOUSE SMELLS BETTER. THE NEW SIDING WILL BE APPLIED ON THE SOUTH SIDE IN A DAY OR SO. THE NEW FRONT DOOR WILL BE INSTALLED IN ANOTHER TWO DAYS. THE FRONT WILL BE LAST TO BE DONE. THE ENTIRE JOB PROBABLY WILL BE FINISHED IN ANOTHER WEEK, WEATHER PERMITTING.
