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.
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
A dear friend made this clay placate for us,
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.
I found this lovely bedspread and 2 shams at Goodwill for under $11.
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.
Steven took a nap in our vintage recliner. He just needs a footstool..
The stained glass door is installed and painted – just doesn’t have landing and steps yet.
