Finally a fascia

It's finally here!  All done and at a great price of only $25 in labor too.

More outside progress

I just finished washing everything down, but you can see how dingy and lifeless the side of the garage is

After adding a bit of color!  I need to get a 12' ladder to finish though

Close up of the new paint

First coat of paint around the window and some of the white is up and done.  I broke a glass pane that needs to be replaced so I'm holding off on finishing the paint closest to the glass

Quite a difference I'd say

And the rafters in their pre-trim state.  I can't install the new gutters until we get a fascia hung

Much too long to install a fascia

The post-trim rafters.  I should be getting the fascia installed tomorrow and then hopefully the gutters immediately after (especially since it's supposed to rain next week)

Charlie is a little annoyed with me since I've been ignoring him

Begging for attention

"Oh fine.  I'll just go sleep on the chair"

Living Room...ongoing

This is still a work in progress.  I've got a lot of major changes to make as well as finishing some things (like the ceiling).

Master bedroom

This is the front bedroom on the floor plans and based on our use I'm calling it the master bedroom.  It is slightly larger than the other room and has a double closet.  It started out with a lot of problems, some of which I still have not addressed.  The plaster is still cracked and I should really just replace the walls, but "round 1" of the house clean-up was to make it livable.

primer is up and starting to hid the nasty mess that was there before

a freshly painted ceiling that no longer has stains on it

first wall done

and now to fight the mold

ugh mold

Then some time went by and I got new curtains, rehung them properly, changed out the comforter for the one we got as a wedding gift, added matching throw pillows, made a few trips to IKEA to get new furniture that matched and Voila!
