Today Peter and I fired up the mixer one more time to finish sculpting the first center tree. It went well and we made good progress. While I did the last of the carving Peter finished off the extra mixed mud by completing the front facia. The sculpted fiberglass reinforced concrete is coming along nicely on the front of the house and we are well past the half way point overall. Haley did the last of the paint work way up on the snorkel lift, finishing off the giant front truss. We'll send it back to the owner tomorrow.

Our lofty goal is to finish the outside of the house by Labor Day. With two more painters starting tomorrow we may just make it!
