Update #16

Dates Work Completed: 8/2-8/6/10

The trim carpenter installed the base boards, window trim, and closet shelves. He made the shutters that will be going up on the new windows on the brick side. He also nailed down the flooring that was ripped up to fix the A/C problem. The section of our patio cover that was missing was also reinstalled. When we ordered cabinets for the upstairs, we also had a cabinet made for our existing bathroom. That was also hung this week.

Update #15

Dates Work Completed: 7/26-7/30/10
A new A/C vent was added to the existing guest room to help with cooling it off. The trim carpenter came and started his work: hanging doors, baseboards, window trim, attic stairs, and closet shelves.

Update #14

Dates Work Completed: 7/19-7/24/10

The cabinets were delivered and installed except for a new cabinet in the existing downstairs guest bathroom. The existing shutters and front door were repainted with a new color because we didn’t have the name of the existing paint color to paint the new shutters that will be going up.  The work area was cleaned up in case TS Bonnie hit us (leftover bricks moved, scraps thrown away, porta potty cleaned out, and full dumpster was taken away and a new one was received).  The interior doors, baseboards, window casings, attic stairs, and stair treads were delivered.  Some of the floor was removed in the new guest bathroom and guest bedroom to try to determine a problem with the A/C in the existing guest bedroom.  It was determined that there was probably a crimp in the existing line.  They’re going to be adding a new vent/line from the new A/C unit to try to help cool off that room some more.

Shutters & Awning

We didn't have the name of the original paint color on our shutters so we had to pick out a new color. We ended up picking Sherwin Williams French Roast (SW 6069, Strip 10). Therefore, we decided to pick out a new awning for the front of the house and will be moving our old awning to the new upstairs back door. We chose Morris Penny because it seemed to compliment the bricks and shutters nicely.

Our existing awning was Walnut Brown Tweed.

Update #13

Dates work completed: 7/12-7/17/2010
Most of the exterior painting was completed. They still have a little trim work to complete.

Also the sheetrock work was completed.

On Saturday, PawPaw brought the backhoe over to spread out the dirt pile leftover from the catch basin work. We still need a little more dirt to level it out.

Cabinets are being installed today and the trim carpenters are supposed to come later in the week. The rest of the exterior painting should be completed today or later on in the week.

Update #12

Dates Work Completed: 7/5-7/9/10

This week the sheetrock was hung, the siding caulked to prep for painting, and the stair rails were added to the exterior stairs.
