Reconstruction has begun...

front elevation



rear additon floor framing




















The exterior siding and trim was removed and taken down to the wood sheathing......the shell of the house is just a stripped down box now but fortunately the reconstruction has begun.  The framers are working on the interior and the exterior walls of the new addition.  This should be completed by the end of the week.  Windows have been ordered and will be ready to be installed by next week.  The new roof will be installed later this week.  We've made some selections for the exterior color scheme...the siding color is a light stone color (" sandstone") with the window and corner trim a contrasting dark brown color-- Benjamin Moore Texas Leather.  The front porch will have cedar columns with a accent color on the new metal roof.

front yard

I did some landscaping work last weekend in the front yard.  Two new ornamental juniper shrubs were planted with some mulch. Three metal planter pots will also be installed in the front yard with some boxwood shrubs.  Concrete pavers leading from the sidewalk to the front porch will be poured and loose gravel will finish off the pathway.....the re-construction process is gradually bringing the house back to form.....stay tuned.
