Home Keeping: New Roof

 







Ah, doesn't she look beautiful?


She used to have a brown roof.


Isn't it amazing what a new hat will do for a gal! I really love it!

The crew was fast and efficient. They cleaned up well, too. The only issue we had is that someone must have lost their step when replacing some plywood, an came down on the ceiling over the kitchen sink!

Not too bad. Easy to attach the light box back to the rafter. However the drywall has many cracks.

They attempted to fix it.


Yikes. There is no problem, the guy from the company we were working with was already talking with the company. Tim (who was away from home on an inspection)had texted him with a question and included me in the text, so I attached the ceiling photo and the "all fixed" photo, too. Scott said, "I hope not!" 

I'm not concerned about this at all. Nate has great drywall skills and could repair this for us easily. 

I'm thinking that since the light fixture will need to be down to repair the drywall properly, I may take the time to paint the metal of the fixture and the other two that match it. Maybe black, or maybe an 'old gold' look. Nothing bright and shiny. We'll see.

I'm thankful to have the first project done! Next I believe will be windows. A good friend of our friend Denny, works for a hardware store installing windows, and does side jobs. We are going to get together with him, soon, and talk about what we want and get some pricing! This thrills me! We've been waiting on some of these projects for years!

We'll probably wait to change our siding until we do the addition, but if that is not going to happen for a while, we may go ahead with residing our house. I just hate to pay to side the end that is going to be where the addition is, so we will probably wait!

I know Kim at Exquisitely Unremarkable  has been having a lot of remodeling done at her sweet cottage. Is anyone else doing any projects?

I hope to stay in this house for many years, and that is why we are taking care of foundational things like the roof, windows, and siding. When we pay off the house, all, or almost all of the projects will be complete! If we decided to sell for some reason, the house will be ready to go!
