Well...It now looks like this!!
 | |
| please disregard the trash pile and the big area of sand..both will be fixed sometime this summer. and did you notice the grass is cut? Rich used the new lawn mower...and found out that there are a lot of areas that we will still have to use the push mower and then the weed eater...{sigh} We both hate yard work.. Oh! The upright posts were not painted because we will close in the bottom of the deck and they won't be seen. |
 |
| this is what was torn off... |
 |
| The back section was replaced...ladder removed.. |
 |
| The burned out section was replaced... |
 |
| Then we used Behr Deck Cleaner ...can you believe the before and after section. Amazing... |
 |
| Then we used Behr Deck Paint.. in Pewter... |
 |
| all done...and drying...it is supposed to dry for at least 24 hours before you can get it wet...Oops...it rained about 3 hours later... When we left to come home it was still raining so we won't be able to assess any damage until this weekend.. |
 |
| I added the new tile floor to the entryway...Once the first tile was set it went very quickly...We used a peel and stick from Home Depot. I think they have changed the sticky stuff sometime in the last 10 years. I used a peel and stick back then and had trouble later with them popping up.. This sticky was great..in fact I had to use vegetable oil to remove the sticky from my hands... |
 |
| Rich added the baseboards and the corner trim and it's done... I searched for a "before" photo but I guess I never took one. Believe me it was terrible. It had some kind of burlap glued to the top half of the walls and some paneling painted a blue gray on the bottom... and there was a storm door on the front instead of a proper front door..and when we looked at the house the first time there was a trash can full of dog food and some kind of handmade bench...and a broom and a mop and dirt... |

The deck is great and so is the new flooring you put down.
Love the color of the deck..good job!!! You both have done an amazing job, for sure.
Forgot to ask...does my room over look the back where the view is?? Hope so...

Ahhhh shucks.... I thought you were going to leave the extra ladders!!! The grandkids would have had a great time jumming off the roof! Nowwwww what are they gonna do? It does look great!
We used some of the sticky type tiles in our bathroom... they are a nice heavy sort and really don't look much different from real tile after they are done. Can't say how many times people have asked what type of "tile" they are.
P.S. You did show a picture of the inside of the entryway fabric stuff, I don't recall any blue walls though... ain't it a shame?
Great job....it looks great!
Nancy, you could have kept opening and just replaced the pool. They had the opening and ladder for a pool. The round bare ground is a sign (unless it;s a crop circle) that it was a round pool. Pretty cool not having to go down the stairs only to climb up to the pool. Pluse your pool doesn't get grass junk. I hate grass junk in my pool =(...
Love that [aint color. Hope the rain didn't ruin it. It's looking like you're almost ready for Summer entertaining now!
OMG! My typo looks like a real word...Pluse , woo-hoo. I have my own spelling rules. LOL! OK, so maybe not, but I swear I can spell. Honestly, p-l-u-s. See? My college education at work. HAHAHA
Looks great. It will be perfect weather for it soon.
I'm so glad the new mower was used. Sorry there will be weed eating. And boo to the push mower! ;)
The deck looks great! The floor and trim look great. I love the weekly updates.
Wow looks great!!! Congratulations on a job well done!!
I have enjoyed this transformation you are sharing with us! I am trying to talk DH into something of the sort myself, so far with little success. He wants to find something that is almost "move-in ready". Will continue looking! Yours is a job well done so far; deck and entry look great!
