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 …
No pictures because it’s raining too hard to go out and take them. I wanted to quick document the progress they made yesterday. The 2 vinyl windows in the back are trimmed out with sills/casings and the caps were made but not yet installed (the frieze board has to be installed first and the caps …
Replicating the original cupola in some form or another is going to be very interesting. I was very excited to get a hint at what it used to look like this morning when they got the aluminum mostly off. Last night I ran over to home depot after kiddo was in bed and Ryan was …
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 the painters are officially on the naughty list! They haven’t been over in more than a month, since Ryan’s paternity leave. They never finished stripping, we hired a carpenter to replace the wood they took down when they kept messing it up (and wasting tons of supplies). On top of that they never followed …
(This is from LAST weekend, finally have pictures but it’s written from last week’s point of view). Aimee, Jason, Jason and mom all came out this weekend. Jason came to work, the rest to play with the kids. So while Ryan and Jason worked (although I did do some electrical and cleanup), Aimee, Mom and …
With rain coming today this may be the progress that’s made. Luckily it was good progress. Ryan made window caps (we couldn’t fit our entire window cap like we made for the lower level windows but he made some nice caps that fit perfectly and since it’s the second story I think it looks great! …
So a bit of the story with this painter. We hired him to strip and then paint a few sections of the house including: The soffit and frieze board on the driveway side of the house The soffit and posts on the porch, all the way around (top part of the posts since we are …
