Under construction

We are having quite the home reno summer! We're not quite ready to post before and after pics yet ...but soon..We promise!!

The bright side of renos today was discovering that the underneath of the front deck is actually solidly built with pressure treated wood and is in mint condition. The top and railing were built with substandard materials but that will be coming down ASAP. Instead we will build a smaller deck that only goes around the French doors instead of the full length of the house.

The lattice was in pretty good condition so we are spraying it black tomorrow and putting that around the stairs and mini deck int he back to enclose it for winter storage of patio furniture, toys etc...

So what we have accomplished in the last couple of weeks is painting more than half of the exterior (rain rain go away), all the trim has been repainted, fence repainted, new front and back outdoor lights.

In the next couple of weeks there will be : a project using wainscoting, laying sod, a red door (big smily face here), completing exterior painting, a tree planting/ rock garden and lattice installed.

PHEW! I'm exhausted just typing it out ;)

Stay tuned for pics!!!!
