more House


409 DORAL CT
The Back porch BEFORE.
The porch in the back was just half finished. It had wood and glass on the one side and nothing on the other side. The wood was in bad shape and I wasnt a big fan of the glass so we opted for an all new composite railing that finishes the whole back porch off and keeps the kids safe.

Side of the HOUSE BEFORE
the covered screened porch on the side looked really bad and opted to remove everything. We are going to turn it into a reading room/bar.
very crappy door.
the old screen had holes in everywhere.
after they removed everything it had already looked a LOT better.

The bottom part was built with rocks that Deon got from his new work place (Boral) We are awaiting the windows that will finish off the top.
Trim BEFORE
All the trim around windows and doors was chipped off and we painted it a rust color that ties in nicely with the bricks and the same color as the outside accent lights.
TRIM AFTER
window trim afterwards.
Garage doors AFTER
The garage doors was weathered really bad so we added a more durable treatment.
FRONT OF HOUSE:
the trim and door had to all be redone.
FRONT of house AFTER
the restained and repainted everything for a new fresh look and Deon is busy adding new mulch in all the garden beds.
we have this beautiful open area with lots of trees to the side of the house and we like to sit on the porch and look at all the deer come eat grass. There is a lot of wildlife and bugs here(most favorable but also some snakes-we havent accountered one yet but we have seen snake skins)
Arthur loves looking at all the beautiful caterpillars,lizards,butterflies,praying mantis etc.
