final step: replaced the sidewalks with stone and brick
(and landscaping, of course)
pre-remodeling
The
blow-by-blow report: (in reverse order)
siding is installed and painted interior
is finished (finally)
siding
is all installed
siding half done
beginning the siding installation
tar paper installation complete
started installing the vapor-barrier (tar
paper)
installed the outlet and light boxes (hard
to see in this picture)
wallboard
is in place...the siding will go over it the door is finished (the
only part I get credit for!)
framing
above the windows is completed
Wow!...the
new door and windows installed all in one day
both
window aprons are complete
new
headers in place (above windows) the left window apron is in place
wide open: preparing the opening for the
new windows
ripped out a wall!
removed
the brick
setup the other scaffold removed
woodwork around windows (interior) *note the ugly old door
the first day: setup a scaffolds and
remove the shutters
It's
really amazing the difference shutters can make: (the
shutters came from the old windows on the front of the house...the top
window will get a pair as soon as I get brave enough to climb to the
top of my 28-foot ladder!)
