Cold had come...but the exterior facelift was shaping up nicely

By the time cold weather had arrived, most of the exterior was shaping up. Wood had been replaced, the chimneys rebuilt, the wood was scraped and mostly painted and that awful ivy was gone (yay!!). The trash and debris were gone outside and the ground mowed. Started the weeding (which I hate).

This is the front of the house. By this time most of the overgrown

bushes in the front were removed. Of course, they were covered in thorns.

This is the left side of the house. Notice the dumpster.

This is the right side of the house.
