CARRIAGING ON...
The painting around 336 has continued (several days per week). The progress is, at times, a bit slow due to a few 'minor' repairs that need to be done.
Old houses have a way of showing their age.
First task is cut out the old rotted/termited parts, then trim, form and fit new pieces//.
... then a bit-o putty, primer and paint
It's rewarding to get it all fixed... but is slows the fun painting part of the job...

By the end of the work day Saturday, the west and north sides (sides for public view) were all done..
... fixed, prepped and two coats of new paint.
Ready for a backyard, garden party.
