House Updates

Before Murdoch everyone would always ask us how is the house going? We have been in the middle of a major house renovation for most of 2007. We were expecting it to be completed by now but like most house projects it has taken a little longer than we thought - partially because of issues with contractors and partially due to the fact that we continue to add more and more to the project. One thing that we added to the project was having the outside of the house redone. We had always planned on having it redone but not right now. When our dormer was approved by the town part of the agreement was that the exterior of the dormer would match the rest of the house. Because we weren't sure that we would be able to find the exact pinkish/tan aluminum siding to match the rest of our house we decided to have it redone. First we had all of the siding ripped off to see what was underneath. To our surprise we had some really nice clapboard. After many months of work, not exactly by us, we are proud to say that the outside of the house is complete - except for rebuilding the front porch which hopefully will happen soon (it better). The inside still needs a lot of work but I thought I would post these pictures because I am finally proud to enter the house and call it mine - at least the neighbors don't know what the inside looks like because it isn't very pretty...but only for now. Inside pictures later when it is a little more put together and cleaned up.
