One Step at a Time

Just wanted to post a quick update on the garage. The guy who helped us put on the new roof (a relative of Jeremy's) is finishing up the trim and gable siding. As of today when I took these pictures just the back siding has been put up. He still has to finish up some trim and put the siding on the front gable.



You can tell what a difference the coat of parge makes in this photo. We are still waiting on a quote to do the entire outside of the shop. Then we will paint it to match the color of the tan siding. Right now the colors look a little funky but that should be fixed when we paint.



I can't get over how blue the sky was in these pictures! It was a beautiful (albeit chilly) day today. You can see my poor boarded up house in the background. Next it's her turn to be beautified :-)



The grading around the shop is really poor, right now everything drains towards the foundation so water seeps inside after it rains. We have someone scheduled to come in with an excavator and dig around the shop, coat the foundation with some heavy duty sealant, lay drain tile, and re-grade. Hopefully that will solve our leakage problems!
