We're making great progress.
The flooring and attic insulation are almost finished, and we've started installing doors.
This Fri. & Sat. (10/30 & 10/31) we'll continue with flooring, insulation, doors & trim (install & paint), and possibly work on kitchen cabinets.
Hope to see you there.
Regards,Bruce

10-14 UPDATE!
Hi folks,
The painting is done. Sidewalks are in.
This Saturday a large group of electricians will be here doing the finish electrical work in the morning, so I'd suggest that other volunteers come at noon.
We'll be working on finish items - flooring, doors, trim.

10-12 UPDATE!
On Sat. we finished the painting; and the legal folks from Corning got the lawn pretty well graded off and stones removed (it's ready for topsoil once the gutters are up)
Wed - install flooring; if the weather permits - pour sidewalks & install gutters (one of Lowe's installers has volunteered to come help)
Fri - start installing doors and trim (a small group of MTE folks will be here to help)
At this point we're done with projects that can use large groups. Now we'll be doing skilled finish work - hanging doors, installing trim, etc.

10-8 UPDATE!
Hi folks,
Work is progressing very well.
With the help of several folks from the MTE group at Corning, Inc., we got the entire interior of the house primed and the finish paint on the ceilings in all the bedrooms.
Friday - we'll continue painting; if the weather is good we'll also pour sidewalks and install rain gutters (if it rains, we'll move this to Sat.)
Saturday - we'll finish painting; work on grading the lawn area; possibly start installing flooring.

9-30 UPDATE!
Hi folks,
The drywall taping is progressing well, in spite of the cool weather that is slowing dry time.
It was very cool working outside today - got some trim work done. Sounds like it will be warming up by the end of the week.
We will be working Fri. (10/2) - finishing siding, facia trim, and rain gutters.
On Sat. (10/3) we hope to start painting and do some yard work.
There are about 5 people from Corning (MTE group) coming Fri. & Sat.; and about 10 Ithaca students Sat.
Hope to see you at the house.
Regards, Bruce
