exterior update

Jeff has been hard at work on our exterior updates over the last few weeks...  The progress made after such a short amount of time is so exciting!

Our 'Exterior Project To-Do' list currently looks like this:
  • Install new living room windows (and centering them)
  • Install new guest bedroom windows (making them regular-size)
  • Prime new siding
  • Hang new siding
  • Hang horizontal batten strips
  • Paint all siding (including exterior of sunroom)
  • Paint storm door & replace house numbers
  • Build pretty trellis to cover stone side of house, with flowering vine
  • Plan and build covered front porch (plans TBD
  • Widen natural area in front of house & landscape
We still have to decide on the paint color... and whether or not we'll paint just the board & batten siding... or the entire house, brick included (which is my vote).

But for having made just a little dent in the list so far, the difference is incredible!

Stay tuned for the rest of our updates... And my best attempt at talking Jeff into painting brick!

  1. Wow! It looks fresher than before. I bet the repainting helped, as well as the replacement of the living room windows. It would be better if you paint all of the parts of your exteriors. That way, it would look like it was fully remodeled. :)
