Ryan is working on the siding this week. 2 problems with this, our painters/construction crew took a couple weeks off and decided this week to start back up full time so they are kind of stepping on each others’ toes and annoying Ryan in general with the quality of work. I’ll wait until they are …
That’s right – we hired someone for another project. This time we decided we really want the porch to be stripped (lead paint) and re-painted before winter so we decided to hire someone to do that work. Interestingly enough I could probably do this stripping faster if we just hired a babysitter, but the work …
Due to the continuation of great weather I took a half day today off of work to continue the window panels. Around lunch time I did the final sanding of the diningroom panels and then primed them. Once those were done, it was time to paint the cupola panels yellow (first coat)! Just as it …
Wow, October and it was in the 80’s! Perfect for finishing up window panels! So Ryan and I worked hard this weekend! Friday night Ryan got home and started right away working on the built-ins! He got the box for one of the bookcases put together so we could see what they’d look like installed …
It’s been a crazy couple days but finally I can post with some pictures from this weekend. Friday night Ryan sanded and caulked the exterior window panels around the diningroom windows that have been half finished since last fall. Once the caulk was dry I primed them so they are more protected. At some point …
Ryan surprised me after work today by putting up the xmas lights! We need to buy one more strand but considering last year all we did was buy the lights and never put them up we’ve gotten quite far this year 🙂 I would like to get a wreath for the door as well and …
Well today was full of putting up scaffolding – it goes pretty darn high. We climbed up there tonight so i could take some pictures of our roof leak and it’s pretty obvious why it’s leaking… I assume that’s copper anyway. So that is why we’re paying for this copper installation. Hopefully it will last …
I got the second coat of paint on the trim around the 2 tvroom windows. By then it was 6 and I knew I had less than an hour before it got too dark so I switched to the other side of the house and got the second coat of paint on the new section …
I got the first coat of paint on the new section of siding and finished the first coat on the trim on the other side of the house. I’m off to visit with some friends while the paint dries and we’ll see if I can get the second coat on before dark!
After we finished up the last piece of siding, I got the siding caulked, sanded and then primed. Hopefully tomorrow I can get both coats of paint on it. While I primed, Ryan worked on the window panels, putting the MDO panels into the completed panels and then caulking around them. We’re not sure when …
