SUMMER 2008 - Rob bravely took on the task of repointing the stone on the exterior of the house....brave
man (or crazy man) is all I can say...damn what a tedious job!
He borrowed scaffolding from a neighbor, but needed to rent several extra pieces to reach the
top peak of the house. He had a few nervous moments way up there, but took it
like a man :-)
He had an air-driven chisel to remove the old cement, and then painstakingly replaced it all by
hand.
While he was at it we decided to repaint the trim. We thought a light beige would
be a nice change from the white. By the end of July he finished the front. Now
it's break time for a while.
The pictures below is the process at various stages of completion.
