It was all hands on deck this cloudy morning, racing against the impending rain to get all the siding up and windows caulked.

And the last piece slips cleanly into place! 

Caulking inside goes on regardless of weather, but wrapped up by noon so folks could enjoy the gift of a half-day off this afternoon.

After lunch, two van loads (including all the kids and five chaperones) went off to New Orleans, five of us visited the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, and the diehards returned to the worksite.

Tomorrow is the last day, and the last jobs — painting, inside and out. Oh boy.
