The demo is almost done. Every piece of sheathing has been taken off so the "insulating" lathing strips and plaster could be removed. Here's a view of the front just as they were finishing but you can still see some the house's old bones.
(Click photos to enlarge)
The garden side has been stripped all the way to the back (kitchen) door. I have to say I think there's something really beautiful about it. And I kind of like the dark color too.
The insulation should be blown in tomorrow.
The wood that was covering the sidelights was taken out and unfortunately there was nothing there....but a hole and some lavender paint.
And this is what's left of the garden bed that up against the house.
I can't believe that's your house! I hope you moved your plants somewhere else.

ps ~ thanks for the kind words today. i have a lot to think about.
Wow! Looks pretty good for being so old. I just keep thinking how much cleaner it's got to feel with all those layers gone...
ReplyDeleteOnce it's painted and the plants returned, it's really going to stand out as a showplace.
You must be so happy to be at this place right now!
How your neighbors must be talking! :)
I'm inviting all of the people I follow over to my giveaway! Hope to see you there! (btw-lovin' the demo!)
