Saving Little Mount Vernon

South face of the roof is cleaned repaired retarred on the hips and 1 quart of stain applied. I’ve got one more quart. That’ll take me that much further today but I have to order some more. I’ve been putting off this second story roof and I’m glad I’m finally getting to it. It hasn’t been leaking, but it just needed to be spruced up.

Does anyone know a wedding planner? We would like to make LMV available as a venue and would like to get input from a few experts on how best to prepare for and promote that. Not quite ready, but we’re getting closer!

It’s been a while since the last update. I’ve been sidetracked with another project but am finally getting back to LMV. Mostly working inside on trim on t se hot days, but also restoring the cupola. Gotta repair the louvers on this side but I’m almost done.
