Last week Dan got some help with the siding. Mike and Marty, who are siding experts, came and worked with Dan. A lot of progress was made!
The side of the garage, with the new door Mike (my Mike) painted green (my favorite color!)
This is the cedar board that will go on the back of the garage for my pergola.
I put the sealer on it.
Wrapping around to the back of the house.
The next day the back of the garage was done, with my sealed, cedar board in place.
The bow window, with the air exchanger vents, and my new dryer vent!
And the front! Wow, it looks like a different house!
Another view of the front.
One day last week (I can't remember which day now) the rest of the new windows arrived.
And all 5 were installed that same day! Not so much rotten wood on that side of the house.
After that day of progress, it came to a screeching halt.
They ran out of siding.
In the meantime we started working on the inside of the house.
I made 2 trips on Friday to get the stain for the inside of the windows.
So Friday night, Mike started staining the kitchen window.
It took a long time. On Saturday, he did the front window in our bedroom. That also took a long time. After that he had his method down and things went a little quicker. He got all the windows in the house stained except the bow window and the sliding door.
On Sunday it looked like rain, and it did rain briefly. You can't really work on windows when it is raining, so Mike painted the living room ceiling.
Ladders anyone?
My friend, Julie came over on Sunday and helped Mike and I plan out the concrete for the back of the house. She came over one night last week and helped us figure out the concrete for the front of the house. We are now ready for concrete!
Tonight when Mike got home he put a coat of sanding sealer on one window. Then we ran to Menards and bought brushes, tack cloth and polyurethane for the windows. Maybe tomorrow night he will get the first coat of poly on the first window!
This is going to take some time...
