and the priming begins!

it looks damn good, too!

^^^ and that is because of your water my friend.  Thank you.  We finish priming tomorrow and begin painting including the trim and accent.  All the windows are "mothball" boarded and adorned with heart vent holes. We've got a door to frame and an original door to install, complete with transom on the second floor porch. This is indeed a great house.

Lots of activity today.  Push to get it painted before the weather cools!

Over a dozen neighbors and friends came out to help us today.  The house is 1/2 painted, the boards over the windows are all up -- we are getting it done.

Once all work is completed, HPC's inspector will come out to the house to make sure we have followed the COA and we will be officially "mothballed."

We are mothballed.   

We had our inspection today.

We saved a house.

Curious about the present condition of this house and the project in general. Did this house eventually get should? How many more houses have been preserved under this program since?
