Facelift 07

Well, its been quite a while since we have posted anything to our blog site. Its not that we have been living in a cave and never get out and do anything. Its more like we have been so busy living our lives that we haven't had time to sit down and write about what we have been doing. One of the things that's occupying our time right now is we are remodeling our cave, I mean our house. After 24 years of looking at the same old face, we decided to do a face lift on the old girl. (the house that is.) Our trustworthy contractor Shaun has been busy adding a roof over part of our deck, installing new facia's, changing some rooflines, building a front porch, and re-roofing. Here are a couple of before and after pictures.

Here is the hard working crew with our general contractor. (Note the boss in the green shirt.) New vinyl siding, updated gables and posts, and gutters are next. Hopefully when we get back from our little vacation, Shaun will have gotten a few more things done. We are quite happy with the design suggestions he is coming up with even though when he says "how do you like this idea" the dollar signs seem to echo his words. Stay tuned for more updates. Hopefully the next one won't take as long as this one did.
