The siding crew got all the siding done and are waiting for the new patio door to arrive before they finish this area.Finally, the slider came in and David is installing it today!This is the inside wall where the new door is going.The plastic will help keep everything cleaner.
The refrigerator temporarily in the middle of the kitchen. This was expected to take 1 day to complete, but it took 3 days in reality. The door was installed in 1 day, but the plaster, sanding and details took longer. Luckily, this house has a loop layout. I can walk through the bedrooms to get to the kitchen from the living room while this door goes in. I feel like I’m camping, sort of.
The mud needs to dry overnight before sanding, so we left the taped plastic up.We had good weather while they worked on the door. Better for the guys and better for me while the wall is opened up!It took most of the day, but I can see how open and bright this door will make my kitchen.The new door creates so much more light. You see it right as you walk in the front door!Wow, I love this new slider door! It’s much brighter and makes my small kitchen feel bigger.This is now a view. I want to clean it up and make it nice to look at.The back porch is looking so much better too! No utilities on the back wall and all the battens are now up. I’m getting used to the Green primer on the exterior walls, but the actual color will be off White, once painted.
The concrete pad expansion is done, tongue and groove panels are installed on the underside of the roof and the patio is now full size. I ‘m considering a fresh layer of concrete poured over the whole pad to cover any nicks or flaws in the concrete. But right now, I’m trying to finish the big stuff.
Although the exterior paint isn’t done, I’m anxious to get my patio organized so I can use it!The patio roof has been prepped for the metal roofing, which has been ordered. However, we got snow and the roof leaked onto the patio below.Right outside my back door. What a mess!Ricky, my electrician is installing the exterior lights.New exterior lights.I found these tiled house numbers locally, but I think I need something more modern. I ordered a different one online and think it’ll be better.The lights at night. I’ll change the bulbs to dimmer bulbs so I can adjust the amount of light they put out.
I expect the siding crew to be back next week to finish the siding around the new patio slider. I already have a painter lined up to paint the siding, and my gutter guy will be here to attach the gutters next. The last big thing is the metal roof on the back patio. Hopefully in 2 weeks this part of the project will be done.
