Just stopping by to check on the house renovation progress Stephen. I hope all is going well and on schedule, if you have a schedule. I heard Colorado had 4 inches of snow the other day !
Into Blue Hi Into Blue :^)
Progress is moving along at the pace of one person, but still steady and reasonably sure-footed!
Winter is close at hand...My son was in Montana a few days ago and they were waking up to 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
And I was talking with a cashier just yesterday at the Home Depot, whose husband and son were visiting the
grandparents in Wyoming and were running into white-out snow storms already.... I fear it's here in some places
in the US already....
We're still fairly warm here yet... have had a few frosts but it warms up pretty quickly... right now we're heading into
a several day stretch of rain... it does rain a lot on the western side of the state... we'll be getting what Seattle is
generally known for... winter damp.... but not much in the way of stick-around snow...!
So I did take a couple of pictures a few hours ago to bring the thread up to date on current progress.
As a reminder I'm posting a demolitioned benchmark...... it's a picture where the old porch was
removed, and before the two story addition was added. Following that one is late this afternoons pictures of
the addition and the new back porch... I just finished up on shingling the two roofs today.
I had also saved some of the old siding and added it to the side of the house, covering the one wall on
the new addition.... yesterday I sprayed it with Thomsons water seal. We decided not to paint it but just
seal it... The old color, once pressure washed, was too cool to pass up... you simply can't buy color that
will do that kind of effect.
Tomorrow more plumbing, insulating and maybe hang some drywall.... I'm quickly reaching that stage where
the house will have parts of it actaully livable. Still a few weeks yet before furninture could be moved in... but
I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! :^)
