Just putzing around, today, since it's Father's Day weekend, my kids and wife want to treat me like an invalid, lol. No, don't get me wrong, we all are loving over here and I appreciate the thoughts. Happy Father's's day to all of you other Dads, too!
Since the siding break was already set up in the drive, I took the opportunity to fabricate and install a new front window cover. I used 16 ga. vinyl covered aluminum and made a couple of return bends into the middle of the side pieces. The center panel is flat and I might have something special for that. The aluminum can also be painted along with the siding, when that happens. The aluminum should be an upgrade over the original fiberglass, they always seem to rot away and/or break. The original on the Hilton was both.

Cover down:

I'm also finishing up on the inside and will wait until I have a few of the trim details done to post up some interior shots. I am getting dangerously close to the finish line. I'll be buying the flooring, this next week.
