I had to head up this weekend because at the end of the last trip I noticed I had to replace some of the siding. I wanted to get that done before the re-staining of the houses is done. I was in luck the staining did not start. I thought it would be an all day job to replace the siding. It was not too bad, it only took an house or so. So with the extra time I finished up the work in the basement. I had to install the wood mouldings.



As you can see the stair stringers are now an off white (ivory). And I have a crown molding along the wall beneath the stairs. And I trimmed out the area where the drywall meets the stairs. I decided to leave the bottom of the stairs exposed.I also touched up the paint and put back of the switch and outlet plates.

I am officially calling the basement done! I know the shower doors still need to go in the bathroom, but a contractor is doing that so it does not count.

What is next? Well the outside. Believe it or not that will be done in 2 weeks. The housed is being restained/painted. New sidewalks and retaining walls are going in. The driveway is being repaired. Depending up on contractors we might have a new front deck this summer.

I guess it time to add a 3rd story so I have some work to do.

It took 3 years but the inside of the house is entirely remodeled or redecorated.
