REMODEL update...



Sold door or one with a window? Trying to decide. This will be in the sunroof addition.




Replaces ALL the wood under the vinyl. 










Repainted the house. I LOVE IT! Clean and pretty. The brick was so busy, I never realized there's a pattern in the brick work.



 New porch light.




Removed the exterior fireplace.




Enlarged the patio.






Had half of the pecan tree cut so no limbs will be over the house anymore. 





Started building the sunroof.

built a fence to hide the trash cans.

Okay, so this time I went realllllyyy short. Kenneth said "it will grow back". Trying to decide if I like it this short. 

It is SUPER easy, just wash and go.

Changes...

 




                                                    

                                            You been waiting long?

So... this happened...

 always something when you start tearing into a 53 year old house.

Our house was built in 1972. We are the 2nd owners. so was expecting some wood rot behind the vinyl.




the chimney is being torn down to, to the roof line.
its in bad shape and what we have inside are ventless propane logs.




south end is not too bad. but all fascia and soffits on back will have to be replaced.  The tear down continues.

Got the dback patio awning off in 3 pieces.



Looks different.

at least its not supposed to rain this week.

Made myself a throw...

top... disappearing 4 patch


Back... a Cross made from leftover fleece.


still working on the machine quilting.

 

How it all started...

 We got tired.

After 25 years redoing the inside of the house we could no longer finish the ceilings in the living room/dining room/ kitchen and the office. So we hired David.










After prepping and covering everything for almost 2 days, he had them painted in less than 2 hours.

there SO shiny...

He also saw my list of "To Do" projects and said, I can take care of alot of that.   
and so it began...
