Used to be a window over the door :) the hardware was still inside.

The new brick work.

Dinning room window was taken out to be fixed by a professional. Also, rebuilt all the lattice around the house.

This is how the house sets as of now..95% of the siding has been replaced around the house. Starting to paint the house next week and hope to be done with the north side by the end of December. We will be hand painting the house ourselves, wish us luck!

Holy smokes, you have been busy! It looks fantastic, you must be so pleased (if not a little exhausted :wink: ) Can't wait to see the color progress, keep up the good work!

Hi Park Ave love the new color scheme it gives the house more visual weight and high lights the windows and architecture.
Good job. Keep those photos coming.

Ahhhh....The joys of old house ownership! Thanks for having the guts to save a pretty old house like that, It's looking great. Can't wait to see the progress as you move along!
Owning an old home requires good stewardship, so that we can not only honor the original
craftsman who labored to build a home of enduring quality, but allow the next generations the opportunity to live in history.
