Beauty isn't always skin-deep

As of about a week ago, this is how the house looked:

228971:339270 228972:339271

Every exterior opening except for the old front door has been removed, replaced, or otherwise changed. Better framing, proper headers, double-glazed impact windows, and new sheathing all around, wrapped in a spiffy moisture barrier.

As I write this, the "mountain sage" HardiePlank lap siding is going up, then the fascia, trim, and soffits to complete the main structure's exterior. The porch decking, new support posts, and a matching roof will round up the exterior work.

Aside from arranging next rounds of work, my next visit will have me clearing trails -- cutting up and hauling away downed trees in perpetration for a proper bush hoggin'.

And so it goes!
