Remodel - Getting Started

Today, the workers from Meadowlark started work on our big project to replace all of our main floor windows and to give the front of the house a major facelift. I thought this would make a good time to start blogging about it and posting pictures of the process. First, let’s look at the house before things get started.

front porch to be replaced
awning on side and gable vent to be removed
soffits, windows and trim around sliding glass door to be replaced
badly damaged window
fix trim around good window
facade/extension needs to go
eek! wood paneling actually peeling away

The day before the crew arrived, I got to work taking down all the window treatments, leaving it all looking quite bare.

Now they start pulling down brick, revealing what’s beneath.

Only a bit more than an hour into the project. It didn’t take long to bring down that brick. I still hear them going at it. Can’t wait to see how it looks at the end of the day.
