Or rather, time for total reconstructive surgery.
The Centenarian is being resided. Not only did our house look rather shabby with its teal shingles, but we needed to protect our investment as well. When we bought the house, we had a siding guy come out and check the place over. He told me - and I quote - "Dude, this is the worst siding job I have ever seen." So not only was it ugly, but it wasn't shielding the house very well from the 10-months of rain we get every year.
So the house is stripped down to the studs. The original lap siding is gone (sad), the asbestos tiles are gone ("Thank you" says my lungs), and the beachy shingles are gone (couldn't happen fast enough). The house had zero insulation, so we've got some of that too. Another few days and it will be all buttoned up. Stay tuned for a grand unveiling.
AJ and JJ,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a job and a half. Good Luck with it. The finished project will be a beauty. John's flickr photo's really show the extent of the work. We hope the garden doesn't take too much of a hit. How's the Vino cellar coming?
