Gettin' close to wrapping up the stuccoing

Today was an absolutely "GREAT-to-be-alive-day" here in middle Tennessee... mid-70s, clear blue sky and spring-time GREEN everywhere ("Tennessee put the double "e" in GREEN!).
Ben Williams got in a full day of stuccoing today and got more than half of the south wall finished. He told me he could have probably finished if his helper wasn't so dad-burn lazy (ME). I suspect he'll finish this back wall the next nice day which will probably be Friday. He also is trimming out the front door with the 2" X 4" AAC block strips. It will most likely rain tomorrow so I'll bring him in to begin finishing the sheet rocking. Here's a picture of him stuccoing this afternoon:
Here's what he got finished today:
Here's what he has done on the front door trim:Yesterday Ben finished up the front windows. I bought the WHITE masonry paint for the trim this afternoon at Home depot. I think it's going to look GREAT when it's finally painted and the flower beds/climbing roses are in.
Boone-hoond is a really great "little red dog" ("little" as opposed to Baxter, our "VLD" - "Very Large Dog"). He's well-behaved and HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! He and Mosby love to curl up in these Coleman-type fold-up chairs... here is Boone-dog yawning in his chair:My VERY talented friend John Ladd came by this afternoon and measured our south windows for screens (the north windows came with screens). With the exception of 10 or so days this summer, I don't think we'll need the window air conditioner at night with the windows open.
