Siding--After Pictures

It's all done!! Shutters up, gutters installed!! It looks so pretty!! We have gotten quite a few compliments from the neighbors. Here's the pictures:

Siding Done--bathroom--not so much!

I called the flooring place first thing this morning and they DID have the floor we wanted in stock. YAY. They were having someone drive to Mason to pick it up from the warehouse and would be ready later in the afternoon.

In the meantime, Doug and his helper (don't know his name) finished tearing up the bathroom and laid the new subfloor.

Since the vinyl flooring wasn't here yet..they will come back in the morning to install it. While it is drying they will install the new back door and storm door!

Mark went to Lowe's and got all of our "stuff"--sink, faucet, bathtub faucet, back door, screen door, bath tub, etc.

The siding is done! They are coming back tomorrow to finish some little things--reinstall my porch gate, hang the shutters, etc. I'll take a picture once that is all done!!

Little More Siding and a Little Bathroom Too

First--HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!!!

At 8 am Doug (the bathroom guy) knocked on the door ready to start.

Bathroom Before (I actually forgot to take a before pic..this one is from a few years ago..but it hasn't changed.)

They started the demo and then came to a stand still..needing plywood for the floor. So they left to come back tomorrow. When that will be here and HOPEFULLY the vinyl floor.

Oh...the vinyl floor!! I found out I had to have the vinyl floor by tomorrow--Mark was supposed to order it..but it's not going to be here by tomorrow. I guess his intention was to get everything else done in the bathroom and then lay the floor...the inspector had other ideas and said the vinyl actually has to be laid under the tub to prevent any water seeping into the seam where the tub and vinyl would meet.

Luckily, I have the best boss EVER and she told me to leave early and go look for something that I wouldn't hate while I washed it. So..I made a list of places to go and headed out. I drove all over the city of Dayton and the LAST place on my list had something I can live with...it isn't the perfect one I had originally found..but it will do. I have to call in the morning to make SURE their warehouse has it in stock.

The siding is moving right along. I bet it will be done tomorrow...Thursday at the latest. I LOVE it!!

Next? Siding!

I took the kids to school this morning and when I got home, Mark (the contractor) was here. He said the guys doing the siding would be here any minute and he was coming in to drill some holes for the electric he was running to the front porch and back deck.

The siding people arrived and they started removing the old siding.
I didn't even know that white trim stuff was under the old siding--I like it. Kyle says he thinks it's ugly. Oh well...it's getting covered back up anyway!

It seemed like in no time at all, the old siding was down and the house was bare. I told Kyle we should keep it like this!!

Before the day was done they had the first pieces of new siding up. I can't believe how fast these guys move (all guys on the siding crew ;)). The siding should be DONE in the next few days!!

Roof...completed!!

I got back from the shower last night after the sun had gone down and I THOUGHT the roof was done then. Turns out it was just almost done.

The roofers came back bright and early this morning, mother's day!! I was so surprised. Oh--speaking of things that surprised me..one of the roofers was a GIRL!! I know I know, women can do whatever men can do, blah blah blah. All I know is it looks like a sucky job and you won't find me on a roof any time soon!!

So, anyway...they came back and got the roof done and now it is beautiful. I love it!!

Roofin'

The roofers started early this morning and are making quick work of the removal of the old roof and installation of the new. I left for awhile this morning to get my nails done and when I came back the entire back of the roof was done and tar paper laid and the first shingles were being laid! quick quick!!

I am going to a bridal shower after while and won't be surpised if it is done when I get home tonight.

Here are the during pictures:

And so it begins

Mark (the contractor) dropped off the samples for the siding and shingles yesterday. He said he would need to know what we wanted by Monday, because the roofers were starting then. Today, the roofer guy came by and said he wanted to get started tomorrow and needed to know what colors we want. I wasn't positive..but I hurried and made a decision. I hope I don't regret it! They came back later to drop off supplies and then the work starts tomorrow! YAY! Here are Before Pics of the roof:
