Ok, things are painstakingly, agonizingly, pantingly, excruciatingly close to completion. Chaos slowing down; results starting to turn heads. Though I believe the neighbors are happy to see that crappy looking roof finally wearing its Sunday best. A chapeau of spartan green, glistening linen dress, shiny new lights and a porch-ZAP, BAM, POP, OOPS, not yet. My new pics reveal beauty and a "wtf"? kind of moment.
Siding guys took FOREVER to finish the project. Threats of rain (rumors, even), 9 to 5 days, pulled off for other rush jobs and no weekend work wrecked havoc with my personal agenda and longing for completion. But I cannot argue with the results. Anal impatient me would never have lovingly wrapped each little corner with such precision and passion to an over the top result. But I do appreciate the look. Our fear was not getting the job done before winter snow halted all progress. Oh yes, there is one minor issue - the "freakin' gutters aren't on yet!!!
We are out doing sun dances and sending semi-nasty messages to the contractor about covering our precious new look with giant commercial sized gutters. Although awesome they will cover up the pretty white fascia and soffit that was totally replaced because it looked so nice to all be the same color. Ah well. Also added was another layer of attic insulation and house wrap. Peace to any unsuspecting raccoon who managed to sneak in and take up residence up there. You "ain't never" getting out alive, you nasty bandit-masked marauder - MEHHHAAA!
Porch is going through final face lift with matching brick all the way around. Should be able to move an elephant over that thing or at least a piano that doesn't get played anymore. Anybody want it you can have it if you want to pick it up and carry it off over our sturdy new porch-no scratches please.
Yesterday was rather hysterical. I'm glad that State was playing late. COMMERCIAL BREAK --Shout-out to our awesome Spartans!END COMMERCIAL BREAK It was the clash of the contractors as they all converged at the same time. Porch people flinging dirt, roof/siding contractor critiquing all projects. We got our little punch list going and everybody's cool. He said I needed to up the nasty on my phone messages - I wasn't too bad just feisty. Golly most people call me the B-word. I love construction guys!
