Thank goodness the roof is done! Thank goodness even more that the siding goes on in a few weeks! I never thought the house could look so great and so bad at the same time. Eliza Doolittle with a fancy hat and her flower-girl dress!
It does look nice. I have to get used to the snow guards they have to put on metal roofs. I thought they would be painted to match the roof but they only come in a silver metal. So as I told the owner of the roofing company: I'm having to learned to live with a red roof with silver polka dots!
The siding crew will be here tomorrow for us to pick the color. I am going to go with a sterling grey with white trim. The siding looks like 7" cedar shakes and I think it will look very beachy when it is done. Then there will be the decking, stairs, front porch, sidewalk and landscaping. Any of you have an in as to a winning lottery ticket? Oh yes, don't forget the new wiring, the sheet rock for Tom's den where the rain leaked through the old roof and destroyed the ceiling and walls. Money pit? Could a 1750 square foot house be a Money Pit? I have discovered that Size really doesn't Matter!
