Honest question!
Malco, you missed something. he said there was a full width by 15' addition across the back of the house. That is the missing piece of the puzzle.

Re: We Swallowed A House

Great improvement! I would have loved to see some shots of the demo of the old roof while your diy'er was living there.

I thought I was the only one that did tippy toe nailing on dangerous ladder angles.

Truth be told, probably 90% of us do it at one time or another. Getting away with it is between us and our guardian angels.

Almost missed responding to this. On this particular job, there wasn't a heckuva lot of drafting--mostly rudimentary sketches and a couple of computer renderings. But man, the old foxtail brushes is a blast from the past!

Re: We Swallowed A House

I especially like the oil tank in the front of the house. The green paint job really blends in well with the........................ grass.

BTW what 'burg' is this in anyhow??

Good job!!!
