The most shocking part when I arrived at the house has to be the new siding in the entry way. I just made a page of how the old entry way looks like and was just talking about it to Peter, the next thing I know, it's done. I really need to be extra careful with my contemplations. I guess this time it's fine, it's what I want...
And there is more. Remember the tree that was taken out to deal with water drainage? Now there is a sloped concrete slab directing water away from the house. This is to avoid further cracking on the floor, further sloping of the wall and chimney.
You made a smart decision to replace all of the sidings. I’ve seen your previous posts about this matter, and the only solution that I saw was total replacement. Well, I’m glad it looks a lot better now. Have you also repaired the broken downspouts? Those can definitely cause great damage to your newly-installed wooden sidings if left untended.

Thanks for your comment. I also replaced all the broken down spouts. The new siding does make a lot of difference. It's just extremely pricey...
ReplyDeleteWell, it’s a good thing your new siding has water proofing sheets to protect them from water damage and rot. Those can also protect your house from harmful ultraviolent rays. I agree with Alejamuel. You should repair the downspouts to fully protect your siding from rainwater damage.
