Home Fix It......Part Two

Here are the "before" and "after" pics of the work done on the porch...finally. I am still not up to par yet after being sick. This "gunk" really packs a punch and likes to linger for a bit.

The contractor also hung flood lights to shine on the basketball court and pool as well as replace some rotten wood on the front porch and around the garage. I really like the work he did. I have little doubt I will find new projects for him to do in the near future. : )

Sickness

Sorry for not getting the house pics up but we have all been sick the past several days. I was out of work Monday through today. Ugh - this is the sickest I have been in many years. Matthew has been out of school. Thus far Nathan has been immune.

Evidently there is a flu-like virus having fun in our town. Nothing like a sinus infection, chest congestion, sore throat, cough and just being exhausted.

FINALLY on the mend and back to work and school tomorrow.

I will try to get pics posted tomorrow of the house.

The Roof...the Roof......egads!

A few weekends ago Nathan was cleaning the gutters and stepped down onto the roof of the screened in porch. Well.......he stepped into a very soft spot. Startled him and scared me when he told me. I knew it was getting bad...Ihave put this off for too long.

Thankfully this week I have a fella out to fix the roof and replace some rotten pieces of wood as well as put on new screen. We have had great weather thus far this week so he hopes to be done on Friday...painting too!

It REALLY makes me feel better to get this fixed!!

Here are the before pics. I will post after pics this weekend.

(This door has seen it's day. New door coming with a dog door to boot!)

(Uhm, yeah. Love that hole. I think squirrels have been eyeing it for their new nesting place!)

(See the bumpy shingles? A two foot crumbly spot was underneath it....and yes, this is where Nathan stepped!)

Roof, Basketball...and Conference Calls

Sorry for lack of posts lately.

LOTS of meetings and conference calls at work.

Basketball was off last week with the tourney starting last night.

And I have workers at the house repairing the roof on my porch along with replacing several pieces of rotten wood.

Lots going on. Will share more tonight along with pics.
