The majority of our house project was completed just a few short days before our huge MN snowstorm! We were so thankful that the timing worked out perfectly! We are also incredibly thankful for all of the help we received from our neighbors and friends! So many skillful hands were involved in helping us tackle this enormous project! In the pictures above, you can see the garage door is finished, but the front door isn't as visible-it is a fiberglass door, but looks like mahogany wood. It has a dental shelf and leaded glass on the upper portion. We have two more garage fixtures to install, as well as a storm door to install in the spring. It sounds crazy, but the outside project has fueled our ambition to tackle indoor projects this winter! We've already painted two bedrooms and put up curtains. We have many more projects yet to come, but are looking forward to taking a break to enjoy Christmas! :)

House Project-Complete!
The majority of our house project was completed just a few short days before our huge MN snowstorm! We were so thankful that the timing worked out perfectly! We are also incredibly thankful for all of the help we received from our neighbors and friends! So many skillful hands were involved in helping us tackle this enormous project! In the pictures above, you can see the garage door is finished, but the front door isn't as visible-it is a fiberglass door, but looks like mahogany wood. It has a dental shelf and leaded glass on the upper portion. We have two more garage fixtures to install, as well as a storm door to install in the spring. It sounds crazy, but the outside project has fueled our ambition to tackle indoor projects this winter! We've already painted two bedrooms and put up curtains. We have many more projects yet to come, but are looking forward to taking a break to enjoy Christmas! :)
House Project-End
The last phase of the project started after the house had been wrapped in Green Guard, "Raindrop," building wrap. It took Ryan, myself, and yet another neighbor quite a while to finish wrapping the whole house. Once it was complete, Ryan worked with our friend Dan to install all of the siding. The siding is a vinyl shake siding on the front, and a wider reveal plank siding on the sides and back of the house. The color we chose is called "Coastal Sage."
House Project-Middle
In the second phase of the project, we had our windows installed and then we removed the old brown cedar shake siding from the house. We are so thankful for our neighbors who pitched in and helped us with all of the demo! It was a productive M.E.A. break!
House Project-Beginning
In the beginning phases of our house project we were removing the 70's brick off the front of our house, while coordinating schedules with the window company. It was also when we realized what a challenge we would face as the sun began to set sooner each night! (If you would like to view the pictures larger, simply click on the photos.)
