ARCHWORK

Today I painted and cleaned up the crown molding for the side porch. Tom's dad worked on the Corbels for the front porch which turned out pretty good. Tom finished up the window's in the front of the house. He did the trimwork on the dining room window and we bent the azek for over the arched windows and Tom's dad made the keystone for those. We then bent some more azek molding for the inside curve of the arched ceiling. We put the top piece over the front door and trimmed out the front door with the azek molding. we even left a space behind the molding so that we could forgo the J-channed... Then I caulked the front door to get it ready for painting.

STONE IS DONE!

We worked this weekend on finishing the stone veneer on the front of the house. All the stone was laid but we needed to grout. We finished it this weekend!!! On Friday night we started with the small sections on the garage door side. Then we worked all day Saturday... We discovered though that the morning is the only really good time to do it... once the sun is gone from the front of the house (since it wasn't really too warm this weekend) the grout stops drying... like literally takes FOREVER. We could do batch after batch in the morning, but once the afternoon hit it goes like molasses. But we did finish by early afternoon on Sunday...

Saturday Tom's dad dug the trench for the propane line... Tom's mom got rid of all the concrete from the cement mixer on the front yard... Then Sunday his mom worked on cleaning up the trench to get it ready for sand. In the afternoon Tommy and his dad did some Azek molding around the garage doors, Tom's mom destroyed the big boxes from the stone veneer, and I grouted the front porch.

EXTERIOR WINDOW MOLDING

We went down the Marvic Supply this morning and picked up some AZEK molding for the windows on the front of the house. We are doing something similar to what we did on the interior...

Before we got to start the trimwork Tom's dad came down and helped us to pour the concrete on the side porch... The tractor works pretty good to lift the trough thingy up to the porch height... We finished that in a couple hours...

Then we pressure washed some of the older pieces of AZEK we had and Tommy started to put them on the windows on the garage... I think it looks great. We need to find another piece of something to put under the windows because it looks a little unfinished...
