It started with a leak…..

…in the outside wall…

Not just any leak.

But a major leak.

Inside and outside.

I ended up with this…

Notice the rotten siding…

 

Then both AC systems broke down.

Yep-there are two separate systems on this house.One for each end of the house.

On the same day!

Soooo…what are ya gonna do?

Call a contractor and architect,that’s what!

Who show up with the very same vision you have,for this house.

Which is a very dangerous thing,I tell ya!

This house has two stories.The upper story,and part of the first story,are clad with T-111 siding.It was disintegrating and needs to be replaced.It will all be ripped off.The house will be Tyveked and tar papered,and stuccoed.From top to bottom.

These entry doors …

will be replaced with something like this….

or  this…

  I think this is the one.

 

The windows in the master bedroom …

will be replaced with sliders.

Kinda makes sense,dontcha think? …Leading out to the new pool,and all….

All that crap the popcorn on the ceilings will be removed.The interior repainted.

I did rein myself in with removing the solid staircase and replacing it with wrought iron.

Dah-yum!… I really wanted that,too!

I do have a budget,after all…..

Not to mention mundane things.

….like new soffits and fascia….

Everything has been measured…blah,blah,blah…

… and hopefully,priced within my budget…

Until this is done,I shall have to busy myself with turning this…

into a gravel pathway.

And getting ready for the fall veggie garden….

 

Stay tuned….
