Here's a picture of the before:
As you can see the siding is cedar. It's in need of a good staining but we decided that for the price of staining and having to redo it every 5 years, it would pay to just vinyl side the joint. The big front windows are going to be replaced with three arched topped windows in the same size. The garage door is literally rotting away. I am ashamed of how the house looks now but by March it's going to be gorgeous!
On the agenda for the makeover:
Replacing all the windows, doors and garage door. The windows are going to be trimmed in white and will be paned double hung.
Siding - we chose dutch lap siding in a walnut color for the majority of the house and as an accent Cedar shake for the 2nd floor
Gutters, soffit & fascia - white trim
Fieldstone the wall the front door is on as an accent
And the best part, we are going to close in our covered patio in the back of the house and make it into a 4 season room. Windows all around to take advantage of the beautiful view we have, tile floor and pellet stove to heat the room.
I am pretty excited and nervous too, the estimated completion date is 6 weeks. Stay tuned for further developments.
