We are definitely seeing progress now – but oh so many details to finish.<\/p>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see all the front windows are in except the living room.\u00a0 The octagon over our door has been replaced with an energy efficient window and the siding is done on all sides and the back.\u00a0 As soon as the living room window is replaced the siding will be completed also.\u00a0 Then there is all the trim to put on inside.\u00a0 We really like the look of this new siding.\u00a0 Then they will also be adding the dark red shutters we have ordered.<\/p>\n

It is hard to believe how much trash this has resulted in.\u00a0 The contractor and Dad have been busy compacting wherever possible.\u00a0 Also, we have stuffed corners with stuff from the attic.\u00a0 Mostly I have been freecycling as much as I can (it is truly amazing how many people this our junk is a treasure).<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a><\/p>\n

Our new sun room is amazing.\u00a0 On Friday the electrician came to do most of the installation.\u00a0 The fan is beautiful but he has to return as he didn’t take notes and he didn’t do exactly what we wanted – we have rocker switches throughout our house (many of which he installed when he did the electric four years ago) but he didn’t put them on the porch even though we specifically requested them.\u00a0 Also, we now have a light in our attic (on a switch – very cool) but he was supposed to put in two so both sides were lit.\u00a0 Anyway, here is our new fan and you can see the bright color we chose for our sun room.\u00a0 Also, we laid out some of the tile (to be installed this next week) so you can see how it looks – it will be much better when it is actually installed, and yes, we are putting it at an angle.<\/p>\n

As with all our projects there is also a side project for Dad.\u00a0 There has been a bump in the wall next to our front door since we moved it.\u00a0 It was hidden for many years by the paneling but when the paneling came off it glared at us for years.\u00a0 The man who is putting in our new wooden raining said it needed to be flat for his installation – so Dad is removing the wallboard and reinstalling it with flat wallboard.\u00a0 So far we have no idea why it had the bump.<\/p>\n

\"Teh<\/a><\/p>\n

Other than the small details that need finishing and a lot of painting (the whole living room, dining room, hall and stairs), after the railing and all the painting is done we will be ready for new carpet.\u00a0 We need to move all the attic stuff back up (and Dad is almost done up there so we can), and then we will move all our furniture out into our new sun room while the carpet is installed.\u00a0 The new deck doesn’t have a railing or stairs yet but I know it will.\u00a0 I think our contractor may be done in two weeks time (even with Memorial Day weekend in the middle of that time.\u00a0 Then we need to finish painting (and that includes all eight of the new doors we finally have added).\u00a0 We also need to paint around our front door (outside) and paint the front door and the garage doors (house and car).\u00a0 Hopefully we will be done long before we head to Houston for the reunion in July.\u00a0 When we come home I hope to just enjoy some summer vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
