So much to do, so little time….

The porch gutting was done, but the siding was still off. We did not want to give this ugly view to our neighbors, so the first thing I did is reinstall the siding.

After that was done, I had to remove the remaining insulation from the walls.

Then it was time to organize all the stuff we have accumulated in the home; Tools, safety equipment, etc.

At the end of the day, I winterized the house. This means that you drain all the water lines, and put anti-freeze into drains. Followed by putting tape over the faucets and drains, so that folks don’t inadvertendly put any water down them.

I also had to return a bunch of items to Menards  that I did not use (house wrap, staple hammers, etc).

Aside from these actions, I had a meeting with the city building inspector to discuss the project. See my next post for how that went.
