Nothing is happening because nothing is happening.

I thought by now I would have triumphantly posted pictures of the completed exterior.  But you can blame Hurricane Ida on me.  We had shingles delivered on Friday and the roof work was supposed to start on Monday.  Instead, we had 4.5 days and nights of driving, soaking rain.  The pallets of shingles are sitting in the yard, sinking into the mud.

They will (as you might guess) go on the roof.  Shown here.  You can see that the siding was removed (weeks ago) and the surface has been prepped for the stone facing.  Which will go on after the roof is complete.  Someday.

Today was a beautiful sunny Saturday.  By about 2:00 it occurred to me that it would have been the perfect opportunity to tile the front step before winter sets in.  But I don't have the tile or any sort of plan, and I am getting ready to go out of town on Monday, too, so it would be a 2 day window.  Kinda tight.  So I am going to have to let this nice weather go to waste.  I am hoping for a very mild December.

I don't know - is this an attractive front step, or could it use some improvements??
