Steven the Man...Steven the Hard Workin Man

Yet again my hubby impresses me with his crazy handy work. It is finally time to fix all of that rotting siding on the house and put on some paint!! Woo-hooo! I have been unhappy with the color of the house for too long now. We got to work on Friday and started ripping off all of the rotted siding. We have some bad spots in the front of the house, on the side, and a little on the back. Once all of that is replaced we will paint. The house will be a nice warm gray with white trim and I will add black shutters for a nice decorative accent. I'm so excited!!

Here is Steven taking off the old siding.

More of him removing the damaged stuff.

Here is Logen giving daddy a hand.
He worked really hard and earned himself some money.

More of Logen helping dad. Notice the new front door!!

The finished product....except for the paint.

Here is what we are working on now. Steven completely tore the back porch off. There was a lot of damaged siding around it, and the porch itself needed a lot of work. In just a couple of years we want to add on to the house and add two bedrooms of of this side of the house. We figured we would get a little bit of a head start and just remove the porch and back door. Steven put up a wall there and will cover over it with the siding. The new back door will come off of the dining room and onto a deck across the back of the house....eventually.

More pictures to come.....!!
