Oct. 30--When neighbors see Jean Neyrinck painting the exterior of her large, two-story home, it makes some of them nervous.

But when they ask the 76-year-old Montana native if she should climb ladders at her age, she usually switches the subject. After all, Neyrinck started using a table saw after she hit retirement at age 65.

"The projects have gotten bigger since I hit 70," she said.

For a decade before retirement, she worked for the U.S. Census Bureau, handling income and housing data. After retirement, she found time to tackle larger projects. Working alongside experienced contractors bolstered her confidence.

She feels a few aches and pains from her labors, but no chronic pain. Although she nicked her thumbnail with the table saw, she has avoided any serious injuries. Because of the hard physical labor, she rarely exercises for exercise sake.

In April 2006, she and a contractor started the onerous job of prying asbestos shingles off her home on Wyoming Avenue, in the historic neighborhood west of the Moss Mansion. She lives on one floor of the home and rents out the rest.
