The boys have loved every minute. Our house is Grand Central Station with people and JOBS. The kids love all the work that is happening out there. An occasional backhoe or cement truck has made this project like a Christmas present everyday as we wait to see what each day brings.
The PROJECT:
- Rip out old sidewalk and add new one that went all the way to the Shoffice
- Put up gutters and dig trenches for the water to go away from the basement
- Add dirt and landscaping in front of the house
- Put a new door and window on the Shoffice
- Paint
- Add carpet
- Find a desk and chairs
- Install heat and AC
- Run electric
Here are a few before pics...
What the front of the house looked like before we started
I didn't get a picture of the sidewalk before, but it was little, and only went to the front porch steps
The front of the office had two beat up doors and we replaced them with one door and a window
The inside. It was dry walled to begin with, but it needed to be cleaned, painted and have carpet put in
Dirt and peet moss where added to the front for the new bushes
The beginning of the new sidewalk
We decided to add a little patio in front of the office while we had a concrete truck at our house
The (almost) Finished Pictures
Yea! We are celebrating the end of a VERY LONG project. A few more paint touch ups and it will be done (but are these projects ever completely done?).
Looks really nice!
