Well since moving back home i have really decided to help my dad with the house and try and get some things done. Since we first moved in about 10 years ago, it has been an ongoing project to remodel/finish this house.
Last summer we had this metal roof put on. cost about 10k to have it installed, but after figuring the cost to do it ourselves and the headache it would have been, he decided it was better to just pay to have it done. i think it turned out awesome considering it was the first time the company had ever done this type of house.
He also paid to have both the decks built by his friend who cut him an awesome deal.
My project was to stain the front of the house and both of the decks. i also had to put up the siding on the side of the house and stain it as well. I applied all the trim after it was stained.
The chimney was also a part of the project, my father and i spend endless hours lowering and raising stones/buckets of morter and climbing up and down.
here are a few pictures, its such a relief to know that the hard part is over worth, let me know what you guys think.
the front after its done, i still have to do something with the peak, just not sure yet.
this is my favorite part, only because i did most of the work on it. lol stained the trim, put it up. put the siding up and then stained that. also stained this deck as well. it was alot of work and i hope i dont ever have to do it again.
heres the chimney, this was another of my favorites after it was finished. came out pretty good if you ask me!
and also this is my new dog! just picked him up today. his name is murph, but i dont like it. 1 year old pure breed miniature beagle. hes still pretty hyper and isnt used to the the other 2 dogs yet.
A person my parents work with was going to send him to the spca because he just sat in his crate all day and had nobody to play with, so i said i would scoop him up and make him and the other dogs buds. hopefully it works out!
Murph’s The Man
trying to make friends, they dont like him just yet though.
