Well the bumpout panels are all installed and primed (tinted primer). A good amount of work for the morning and just in time for some more rain – yup – raining again. Also done today, they got the copper installed over the kitchen window and the caps and frieze board installed over the 2 vinyl …
Well the bumpout is going very smoothly so far. They got the panels all boxed out, the MDO all cut to approx size and pre-primed. They have to fussy cut the MDO to install it next but I’m impressed by one day of progress. The goal is to get this part of the bumpout finished, …
Tuesday got rained out again but Monday the rain held off so they were able to get our bedroom windows all installed and a good start on scraping down the soffit over the backside. Now the inside work is done, they are starting on panels on the bumpout today. At the pace they are going …
We got a little work done on the kitchen this weekend, mostly Saturday during naps (since she takes 2 2 hour naps on Saturdays generally). First I cut out the hole for the microwave to go, and then wired up the outlet. We need to get some trim to trim out the bare edge of …

It sure was nice to come home to some great progress! They got 5 windows flashed and installed today. They also removed some more siding so we could see what the original cupola panels looked like – very interesting. I’m a little worried we don’t have windows for the top of the cupola yet. I’ve …
Well clearly we are not getting work done on the house lately since there have been no blog updates 🙂 The small amount we did get done last weekend was in preparation for our new crew to start work. We hired a crew of 3 to do the exterior work (replace windows and siding) on …
Wow it’s been over a month since I posted! That’s because it’s been over a month since we really did any work on the house. After our vacation/staycation we had a few relaxing weekends and then a couple of travel weekends for birthday parties. Finally this past weekend we had some time to work on …
