Facelift - Day ?

The contractor and his crew have completed many projects by now. One of which was installing these industrial strength shelves in the newly created (covered) area behind the garage.

The girls were so excited, they want to sleep on them. Reminds me of military barracks.

They hold up to 2600 pounds! I hope we don't have that much junk.

This is the new roof extension off the rear of the garage.

Here is a cement speed bump as we are calling it. This will keep the water out of our garage without getting a new driveway. Some of the cement was settling (sinking) and allowing water to creep inside the garage.

This is a walkway/storage area between our garage and brick wall that was not being used before now. We used stone that was already in our yard.

They are also working on some interior projects as well...feels so good to get things done!

Facelift - Day 2

Still at the process...asking who asked for stripes? Actually, the wood paneling on the front of our house was taking on a quite a bit of moisture through the cracks. (Side note: the pretty flowers that were planted back in March - mostly dead from being stepped on :( )

This is a shot from the inside of the garage. You can see the sun light from where they tore off the back of the roof. I was so worried because rain was in the forecast. Nothing happened, thankfully.

Lots of progress

This is the two foot area being gained to the side of our garage by removing a little block wall. Anyone have a good idea for use of this space? It is 20 feet long and can be accessed from both sides.

They were going to paint the house today, but the walls were still too wet from the power wash they gave it on Friday night. Can't wait for Monday!

Facelift for the house

Our house was built in the 50's and needed a little TLC. Much of the wood fascia and siding needed to be sealed or replaced. After all the work, the paint will be freshened up :)

Here is a project that is happening to the rear of our garage. It will extend the roof out 10 feet providing a covered storage area.

My parents had a brand new window that they just replaced with a door at their house. So we had it installed into our garage where it previously was just a glass window (non-opening).

More additional photos of wood work being done.

These are close ups of the garage project.

BTW, this was all done today from 7:30 this morning until about 6 tonight when the wind started to blow. Rain is coming, Will it get into the garage through these holes? Hope not.
