It's started!!!!





Here is what the house looks like today....the siding has all been ripped off. The back porch overhang is also gone and will be replaced. The electrical work and insulation will be done while the siding is off. The siding and new gutters are the last things to be replaced. PRAY for sunny, dry weather =-)

The first picture you see is the big shop that is behind the house -- it had significant dry-rot in the siding at ground level, on the backside, which gets all the rain and not much sunshine. They are also going to re-grade the ground behind this building, so that the wood will no longer be at ground level. The shop will also get a new roof to match the house and the 4 skylights will be re-flashed (one was leaking)

I'll try to keep you all up as our house goes through all the repairs that have been so long neglected.

Are there updated house pics yet? I was a little concerned about you guys with these little rain showers we've been having today! Hope everything is safely covered.
