Looks like they are thinking about the next step in rebuilding the fireplace

Spray painting the roof of 3090, lets hope the heavy rains that came later did not mess this up

As the painting progresses, its amazing to me that they are not covered in paint

For clarification, the only lettering we did on the tool, kitchen storage and kitchen cars was on the ends. (Okay, that English just doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean, right?) The sides were from , I think, last year. Since the lettering team was kind of at a loss for work (lots of rebuilding this year) we went around catching up on jobs in the yard. I think it has worked out alright though and has improved the look of the yard a bit.

Great Patti, thanks for the added detail on the lettering team.
