Our last chunk of insulation is done! If you don’t count the windows – we’ll have to insulate around the windows ourselves with cans because their sprayer was broken but we weren’t charged for it so no biggie. Either way – we are very close to ready for sheetrock now! Hopefully this weekend we can …
Our contractor was out Monday and Tuesday and making progress on the outside of the house. On Monday he got the yellow and most of the green painted. On Tuesday he finished the green and then took out the back door and boarded it up so that can get re-sided next. Today we get insulation! …
The last week and weekend has been a bunch of projects so I’ll just update using pictures on all the work that’s been done recently. During the week we had a crew working on the siding on the back side of the house! They got the siding installed and the soffit stripped and all primed …
We were back in NY this weekend getting things settled for our move soon! While there work continued on our house, our contractor came over for a couple of days. A little time this morning too and he’s finished up 2 projects – the upstairs hallway now has flooring and the front hallway downstairs has …
The porch has been moving along steadily since Thursday afternoon. Ryan got most of it demolished (leaving enough for us to use the side door for a while yet). When Mark arrived they started right in replacing the first post bottom, and getting the decking going. By the end of the night they had the …
Wednesday was a very busy day. First Ryan did a bunch of cleanup/moving stuff to prepare for demo (out on the roof mostly). Then after lunch he started the actual demo with a break for dinner. After the little one was in bed he finished the last 2 walls and I helped with the cleanup …
Work on the house continues this week. Maribeth and Dan came out for a long weekend and worked away on our small porch off the bedroom. They stripped all of the old paint and it looks great! Can’t wait to get this thing sanded and painted so it looks nice. We’re going to put new …
Friday and Saturday we rented a lift to complete some up high projects around the house. First up Ryan got a coat of paint on the shakes on the driveway side and the molding up under the soffit. Some sections of that molding aren’t done yet but they are easier to get off a ladder …
Around 11 Ryan was ready to start tiling the front area again. I’m pretty sure almost every tile he did had to be cut (maybe 2 didn’t) today! So we got the wet saw setup in the driveway and he went to work on tiling. By 3pm he was done and it looks great! The …
Just a quick wrap-up on what Ryan finished up yesterday. With Alex’s help he dry laid the tiles into the pattern we were thinking and of course we were short one mosaic tile 🙂 No biggie. Once Alex was in bed he mixed up some mud and did the pattern so it would be dry …
