September Update

Ok, I know I've been pretty negligent with this blog, but now there is some exciting news!
The exterior renovations have begun; nay, many of them are already completed!  Check out all the changes below.

First, some new garage doors:


  


Next, some newly painted siding and new shingles on the roof!
 

Next, the removal of the middle pillar on the front porch:
  



Then, the installation of the new front door!
  


This next one is my favourite:  the garden doors in the dining room. The room is flooded with light!
 



Next was the removal of the sliding glass doors in the rec room and installation of a huge window.  A mason will come and do the brick work.  But, how do we get out to the deck to use the clothes line or the barbeque? Don't fret. There's a solution (temporary).





Finally, there are two new windows in the upper bedrooms. They make a big difference in the amount of light upstairs and I love them.
 
 



Also, new replacement windows for the basement windows which will be a lot warmer in the winter.

There's a bit of work to do to finish off the trim, fix some drywall, and paint some left-over bits.  Soon, the final aluminum work will be done, and we can appreciate the before & after comparison.  Whew!  So much work done so well.  I love it.
