Drywalling the Addition

Standing on the closet, hanging a ceiling piece
Scott stopped by and Chris put him to work helping with hanging the ceiling sheets. With his help, Chris was able to finish all of the drywalling over one weekend.

Exterior Remodel: Stucco Work


Southside of the house will all be stucco as the sun damage was so bad on the wood. Not sure I would be willing to climb up on the scaffolding that they are using...

Lath on the front addition where there will be stucco

Admiring the quick work of the stucco guys (good thing they are quick as they are about 4 weeks late!)

Exterior Remodel: Deck Framing

Front porch with stairs coming down to the driveway level.

Chris finishing up the peninsula that will run next to the hot tub. He tried to finish this up quickly as he was just told that the pregnant lady's water had broke and he would be having a baby soon!
