Exposing the front of the house by removing the old asbestos shingles and aluminum trim.
Repairing a rotten front corner of the house. See the blown-in insulation. What a mess!

More house work
July is my month for house work, as my family is away at the cabin in New Hampshire and I then have a flexible schedule to attack large projects on this old house. Here are a few pictures of my recent work:

Total Home Renovation
When I am not working on CertaPro or a sermon, this is my life. This 1889 Victorian house that is in need of a complete over-haul. Most of the interior is done, so now I am focused upon the exterior. I am taking down the old asbestos siding and aluminum trim wrapping, and restoring the original clapboard and re-building the detailed trimwork. It's fun, but it's a shame that is has to take years and years to complete!
Here's a glimpse of the inside. It is a very visually stimulating place.Bright colors, traditional African handcrafts, original artwork and Victorian trimwork. At least it's interesting!
