Never thought I'd see the day..

We had hung siding as far as we could without making some more decisions..

First, the window needed to be re-installed.

..and trimmed

We added those pieces along the top of the bay window to make siding up to the shingles easier and cleaner looking.

Progress: Day One

Paint samples and completed siding. Dad even mulched my leaves!





I never see it from over here - it looks so small!

Sunday progress. Siding: COMPLETE!
A couple little pieces of trim left to hang around the bay window and two new porch columns to set. For now though, I think I'll catch up on some sleep :)

Happy 100th!

For my 100^th post, I have for you (drum roll) MORE WINDOWS! J Specifically, the LAST windows of this renovation – the tall, skinny bay windows in the living room. A pretty fitting 100th post celebration, I'd say!

Before: single pane replacement windows that had some small issues. 

We had a lot of fresh air flowing through the house Sunday afternoon!

First window: DONE! This one took the longest - after we had a system worked out, the other two took no time at all!

Not too shabby!

All I have to say is: thank you baby Jesus for friends and family. I wouldn’t have any of this without them!

We'll trim around the new windows, install the stained glass window above the bay, set my new/old porch columns, and finish up the siding! It's almost too easy...

Siding by the bay

The bay windows without the metal trim and storm windows.
We only broke two of the storm panes.. :S

For the first time in a LONG time, we can say that three sides of the house are completely wrapped in new siding! All we have left to do is this little bit around the front of the house! That said, there's a LOT of cutting to do..should be interesting :)

The leaves have definitely started falling..looks like we better finish these outside projects soon!
