Our House is
|
It may be
a "fine house", but it is undergoing some exterior renovations.
The photos below represent what some things looked like before the upgrade,
during, and after. At this point in time most work has begun, so there will
only be "before photos". Check back for updates as work continues.
On 2005-09-07 work began on The Porch. Despite estimates to the contrary, the work was not complete until 2005-10-21. As of 2005-09-14, the garage door work by Overhead Door Company of Hibbing was begun and completed. On 2005-09-19 Madison Products began installation of the new windows for the roadside. Work was completed on 2005-09-24. |
The House from the Road |

You almost cannot see the house for the trees. The living room window to be replaced is on the right (under a spruce branch) and the other window is hidden on the left behind a branch of the basswood tree. |

This is a closer view of the living room window before the work begins. |
This is how things looked at 4PM on 2005-09-21, when Raoul had gotten the new window into the opening. Other pictures of work on the window are found elsewhere | |
This is a closer view of the other roadside window to be replaced in a "before" view. |
This is a view out the window after we removed all the window dressings in preparation for Raoul to do his work. Note the split panes on each half of the window. | This is a view during the installation of the new window. Note that each part of the double-hung window has only one pane. Work should be finalized on 2005-09-20. |

This is a closer view of our unique porch. It is a cathedral ceiling upper porch (screened in) with a lower level screen porch offset under the upper porch. The stones at the bottom of the photo mark the edge of a diagonal path up the hillside. |
