Great that you can continue working through the winter; PA not so much!

The weather has been very nice!! We have had a "winter" for a whole week this winter, 40 degrees (if that). It's been the highs of 76-80 degrees everyday. Makes for working on the house great!

Looks great, now that you have developed good callus's from hammering and painting there should be no problem with all the small tasks in the future. Oh, you have a ghost! look in the window above the porch.

With those colours your house looks very much like the Miller House (http://www.1907millerhouse.com)
The bad thing with electricity : it almost always works.

I too like the colors! What is the cream color on the trim? We are looking at something similar for our trim.
