Rain But Still Working

We were rained out yesterday. I went shopping for porch columns and decking materials. I also got hold of kitchen plans from Home Depot. I want apartment size appliances and home depot doesn't have them. I am waiting on Lowes and then i'll check in with my buddy Tony at ABC Warehouse. Even though it rained yesterday Fransisco put up the porch columns. They looked all out of whack. Fransisco said he couldn't see in the rain. He took them down today and rebuildt them. You can see they looked pretty good. We put the level to them and the bubble was in the middle. This is Fransisco's first job for me and looks like the real deal. Next week we should have the porch up, start the roof and start working on the floors inside.

Getting the porch going

Working on The Porch

Getting ready for Fransisco Ramos to put up our new porch on Friday. I had to get rid of the yellow brick porch which stood out like a sore thumb against the common brick. More money but you need curb appeal. I want people that see this house say, "I would like to live there." Zach Platt brought a chain saw to take down the bushes in front of the porch. He will also do the plumbing so Fransisco will have the water he needs tomorrow. Dane,Donald and Brian did most of the tear-out. Dane has the contract to tear down the garage and ugly add-on at the back of the house. I want to secure the back before we tear down the garage. Waiting to put up steel replacement doors. Donald stays with his Aunt Irma just north of 5053 and Donald lives with his grandma across the street on Putnam. Brian's truck was invaluable. Fransisco showed up early to make sure the porch didn't collapse before he started work tomorrow.

These floors need work.

Not much happening today

It was a rainy day and Peanut didn't show up to continue the tear-out. Brian did a little work by himself. The floors as you can see by the pics are a little rough. You never know what you are going to get when you lift up carpet. it could have been worse it could have been better about sums it up. My floor maven Eugene Fascata from Romania shows up tomorrow and will give me his assessment. Tomorrow we take out the front porch and Friday the new porch goes in. Stay tuned.
