Siding Project

By -






Sunday afternoon I decided to start pulling some of the siding down. I started from as high up as I could reach and then got the extension ladder out. This worked fine until I was stung twice by something I couldn't see, once in on the arm and once on the head.










Progress as of Thursday night after work. Pulled some of the old fake brick off under a window to see how bad it was going to be to take down. I'm sure that it was good looking stuff when it was new, but it looks pretty ugly to me.















Chris looked at the old cedar siding underneath and asked the same question that I have had for a long time: When was the last time this house actually had paint on it. No evidence of a color what so ever.

Morgan wrote and lectured on modern European history, especially British, was active teaching in MSU's Study Abroad program in London , and was especially valued and loved by former students. Click for the obituary. Not having Morgan as an instructor during my time at MSU, I was introduced to him by our mutual friend, Drew Beiter, a former student. With Drew sequestered off working in California or Wyoming or the greater Buffalo area, and me living here in Williamston or Grand Ledge, I was able to more fully develop my own relationship with Morgan. More recently, Morgan was our infreque
