The siding is done! Well… almost done. I still have to install the soffit, which I don’t know if technically that counts as siding. But it involves me up on a ladder, so I’ll call it siding. And gutters too. I need to install those as well. And then paint. Must paint.
We also finally have the back door installed. We haven’t had a back door on the house since May 9. Seriously. No door at all. Just a big, gaping, lack-of-security hole in our house. I’m so glad that’s corrected now.
A bathroom with a view. (click to see it bigger on flickr)
After that, I get to start playing with all that “fun” insulation.
Until next time...
If you married me, we’d live in a downtown loft an if never make you do home repair.
😉
But a loft. Think of all the remodeling potential!
I told ya’ll before it would have been cheaper to tear it down and build a 5,000 sq ft BRAND NEW house, but I guess you love doin it. 🙂
I think we’re still way under the cost margin of what that new house would have been.
That insulation makes me itch like crazy
That it does. Especially when you forget to wash your hands before handling, er, special equipment.
Keep your hands off your junk, Erik. Unless you’re making that tradey porno that we talked about.
I never have my hands on *my* junk…. 😉
why is the siding a different color on the addition?
It came pre-primed from the factory. That’s why it’s that yellowish color. We’ll be painting it old school white for now to match the existing siding. When we replace the siding on the rest of the house, we will paint the house a different color. Of course, that will be a ways down the road….
At least the foundation is solid, unlike before! LOL It looks very nice Erik.
Very much so. So says the poor concrete mixer the Husbear owns.
