That's What It's All About!

PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY! I've done my best to create a slideshow here to showcase the renovation of the rear addition (what we are calling the cardroom & breakfast room/eat-in-kitchen respectively.)

Photos dating all the way from August 2008 to today. The original inspiration, and the scope of the work that has been done in the past three months.

We faced carpenter ant infestation, carpenter ant damage, water damage, damaged joint seams, dry rot, rot, electrical boxes consumed by rust and everything in between. There was more work completed solely by Liam and myself than we were able to document on camera.




Work is still going on, but we are finally entering into the final stages.

UP NEXT...Window casing is about to go into place. New light fixtures, and some electrical changes will be made. New baseboards will be installed, as well as new pantry door. Additional painting of course, and some cosmetic fixes for cold air return and vents. It is a masterpiece for which we are extremely proud!

A gem of a property!

Now the ball is really rolling. We've just replaced the front storm door which was missing hardware to close and had a whacky glass storm panel insert which was leaking out all sorts of hot air and leaking in all sorts of cold air. The exterior entry door we have inside the sunporch has a 1" gap beneath it from when previous owners planed the door down to accomodate carpeting. It also has a lot of glass, so without a proper storm door, we were in for a big draft.

I will get to that entry door next spring. It will be stripped, refinished, re-weatherstripped, etc.





Anyway, we finally had our custom Anderson storm door installed. This is an Anderson 2000 series with a 79" height. (All our entry doors are 79" tall) Full glass with slide away screen. It looks lovely on the house. We already feel the energy savings! AND Now the kitties can enjoy going out on the sunporch when the weather is not too cold.

COMING UP FOR EXTERIOR...
Mailbox and address sign will see updates soon...
Side entry door will be worked on by Barry...re-glazed, new lock, new trim, and new storm door with cross panels will be installed shortly, and a new light fixture.
