Beadboard removed from north porch – insulation added
Porches
Beadboard for open porch – stripped, sanded and oiled
Porch Roof in Process
The kitchen roof has OSB installed and is covered with a tarp.Steven has removed the shingles from the north porch. He had to do repairs on part of the open porch roof. The roof over the bay window has taken some time as it needed a different design to go over the taller walls of the bay.
New Steps and Landing
Steven dug the holes for the cement footing by hand and then mixed and poured the cement into purchased forms. We had on hand all the other materials. The steps were from a Menards clearance. I then applied red mahogany oil.
Siding and steps finished except for railing
New color for door and trim
Revitalizing the Open Porch Decking
Steven trimmed back the decking because it was water damaged and replaced boards that were too damaged. We used decking that we had removed from the kitchen porch for new edging. I then stripped , sanded and oiled the decking.
OSB and Exterior Wall Wrap
We had leftover OSB from raising the second floor. We also had scraps we had saved. We used a couple full 4 x 8 sheets and completed with the scraps.
We had purchased house wrap at ReStore; we used it to wrap the west wall of the north porch and the kitchen porch.
New Stained Glass Door in Kitchen Porch
The stained glass door is installed and painted – just doesn’t have landing and steps yet.
New North Porch Door
We needed a 36” exterior door for the north porch. I was in Roseville for a medical appointment and decided to go to the ReStore to check out their new supply of doors. I found this beautiful door – texted Steven and he agreed.
New Rafters and OSB Roof
Installing the LVL to bring open porch up to code.
The open porch was not up to code – to do so we needed to install a double 2×8 LVL. We decided to go from the end corner of the kitchen porch to the corner of the north porch. A total of 40’.
